Background & expertise

Why BlinkLab

I’ve always wanted to do something that makes our world a better place. With my background in technology, I believe it can be more than functional — it can change lives.

Over the years, I’ve met many incredible people with ADHD and autism, and I was recently diagnosed with ADHD myself. I’ve come to see clearly that when neurodivergent people are truly understood, their creativity, resilience, and potential become impossible to miss.

When I discovered BlinkLab, everything clicked. This is where my skills in technology and my desire to do work that matters meet. I’m here to help build a tool that has an everyday impact.

My Role

I joined BlinkLab on 1 September 2025 as an iOS developer. Day to day, I work on making our iOS app faster, smarter, and more capable — delivering the best possible user experience and the most accurate results.

Meet the rest of our team!

With the roots of our company lying in the neurological research field, our team is built from strong academic knowledge gained at prestigious institutions such as Princeton University and Erasmus MC.
