Eben Schoonhoven

Software Developer

I’m a versatile software developer with several years of hands-on experience building full-stack solutions using C#, .NET, Angular, and SQL Server.

I enjoy creating clean, efficient, and scalable applications, and I put a lot of focus on solid architecture and performance from the start.

I’m known for my attention to detail and my ability to take complex requirements and turn them into reliable, user-focused features. Although I mainly work in web development, I also have foundational experience in cross-platform mobile development using Xamarin and .NET MAUI.

I care about writing maintainable code, improving overall system quality, and contributing to long-term stability.
