About Me

Backend logic, databases, and modern front-end — plus high-performance Minecraft plugins.

I'm Sven van Bugnum, a Software Developer finishing up my studies. I'm passionate about building full-stack web applications and high-performance Minecraft plugins, bridging the gap between game server backends, databases, and user-facing front-ends.

My focus is on backend logic, database management, and modern front-end web development. I work with Java, databases, and web frameworks, and I've built everything from complex in-game mechanics and server plugins to personal tools and full-stack side projects. I'm looking for student jobs in software development (backend, front-end, or full-stack) and open to freelance work when it fits my schedule.

When I'm not studying or coding, I like exploring new technologies, optimizing game server ecosystems, and working on creative side projects.
