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.

Models

High

Performance

Leading development of a comprehensive Minecraft network built around a deep, custom fishing system — unique catch mechanics, rarities, and player progression that give the server its own identity. Backed by custom 3D models and resource packs for a fully bespoke look and feel.

Engineered for very high-grade server performance: optimized event handling, asynchronous data access, and clean module boundaries keep gameplay smooth under load. The core is written in Kotlin, with TypeScript powering the supporting web tooling.

Interface

A full-featured Formula 1 companion site that pulls live data through custom API keys to present a complete view of the current season — race calendars, results, and driver & constructor standings, all kept up to date automatically.

Also dives into historical seasons so you can explore past championships and compare statistics, wrapped in a clean, modern, responsive interface built with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
