About me

I'm Rob, and a software engineer. I studied at the TU/e and have contributed to open-source software such as Chromium (the project behind Google Chrome), PDF.js, and other projects on my Github profile, and through knowledge-sharing on Stack Overflow. I report security bugs whenever I find them.
I work at Mozilla as a Browser Engineer (Firefox, WebExtensions), and occasionally act as an Add-on reviewer at AMO. You can find me on LinkedIn.
