Hello, I'm

Miguel Sadorra

a Junior Software Engineer

I’m a Software Engineer at bol, building scalable systems for millions of customers across the Netherlands and Belgium. Originally from the Philippines, I moved to the Netherlands to study Computer Science at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, after earning a degree in Communications Technology Management from Ateneo de Manila University. My path into engineering blends technical expertise with prior experience in graphic design and events management, sharpening my communication skills and attention to detail. I focus on writing clean, maintainable code and optimizing systems at scale, always curious about the "why" behind technical decisions. Outside of work, I enjoy sports, gaming, photography, and videography.
