Hello, my name is Roene Hertong. I am 24 years old and live with my parents and younger sister in Meppel, the Netherlands. In my free time, I enjoy being active. I like traveling, motorcycling, listening to music, reading, and I regularly visit the gym. I also work every Sunday as a delivery driver at HelloFresh.
Traveling is one of my greatest passions. Italy is one of my favorite destinations—I often visit because I’m inspired by its beautiful landscapes and love its amazing food. My personal favorite is pizza prosciutto (with ham), which tastes the best when enjoyed there. During my trips, I always try to explore and experience as much as possible. Every spring break, for instance, I go snowboarding in Italy—an adventure I look forward to every year.
Besides traveling, I also have a strong interest in technology and programming. I am currently studying to become a Software Developer, and after completing my education I would like to focus on application development. What excites me most is creating applications that make other people’s work or tasks easier. I find it very rewarding to come up with solutions that truly make a difference for users and customers.
What defines me as a person is my eagerness to learn and my enthusiasm for solving problems. I enjoy continuously developing myself, both technically and in collaboration with others. I like working with precision and gain energy from building something that truly works and is used in practice. During my studies, I discovered that I thrive in project-based work, especially when I have the opportunity to contribute creatively and take responsibility. That combination of technology, creativity, and helping others is exactly what attracts me to application development.
