I’m Reuel Feenstra.

I didn’t start my career as a developer. I began as a private school teacher, spending 13 years working mostly with intermediate students. I loved helping them learn and grow, and enjoyed finding ways to make learning more engaging and effective. During the COVID-19 years, my skills with technology became even more important as I supported students and teachers in transitioning to digital tools and new ways of learning.

In 2020, I stepped into a vice-principal role at Maranatha Christian School, where I had the opportunity to support staff, work closely with the principal, and help the school run smoothly.

In 2022, I transitioned into software development. While working at Church Social, my role on the team grew. I took on responsibilities such as fixing bugs, building new features, supporting customers, and writing documentation.

Today, I’m a full-stack software engineer specializing in Laravel, Vue, Inertia, and modern PHP, focused on building clean, reliable software that does the heavy lifting and helps people save time, effort, and money.
