Hackathon organizer & SaaS builder
Building communities & Products that matter
I bring developers together through hackathons while building my own SaaS platforms.
Former agency owner passionate about innovation and technologie.
My name is
Marc Ruizenaar
Alongside my passion for coding, I have a love for windsurfing and wakeboarding. If I'm not behind a screen, you can find me around a lake or the sea.
Before diving into web development, I worked as a designer (mainly packaging design). To me, building a website is a lot like designing a carton box. Instead of folding it into shape, you're building different pages, making sure everything fits together seamlessly for the best experience.
Websites I’ve created
Movie API
As a team of two, we developed a website using React and an external API to fetch and display movies.
