Jesse Nieuwenhuis
Software Engineer & Self-taught Ethical Hacker
PROFILE
Ambitious software engineer currently in year 2 of MBO4 Software Development. With hands-on experience across 17+ projects spanning web applications, offensive security tools, desktop software, and e-commerce platforms, I bring a strong foundation in full-stack development combined with a self-taught passion for ethical hacking and cybersecurity. Outside of my studies, I taught myself offensive and defensive security techniques — from analyzing malware behavior to building real-time network monitoring tools — purely driven by curiosity and passion. My long-term goal is to combine both worlds and found a cybersecurity services company that helps businesses protect their digital assets.
