Hello!
I'm vrugtehagel.

Most of the time, you'll find me writing code. I especially love building for the web, but I enjoy branching out every now and then. These days, I'm doing Advent of Code in Zig.

My favorite creation so far is my web component framework called Yozo. I was frustrated with the complexity introduced by modern frameworks, so I built something that I really like. Maybe you'll like it too!

I do build smaller projects from time to time, like plugins or other fun experiments. Here's a handful of the ones I like best, but feel free to browse my GitHub repositories for more.

I value sustainability, accessibility, and privacy. I enjoy semantic programming and prefer to avoid dependencies. I'm a big open-source proponent and try to contribute wherever I can.
