Portrait of Roan van der Duim
Back-end developerLeeuwarden, NL

Back-end developer at Junction in Leeuwarden. I work in PHP and Symfony, and these days mostly where back-end meets AI: platforms, integrations and the agents I build software with.

For six years I've built the systems businesses run on. These days I connect them to language models: real data, real tools, real workflows.
