Welcome to my website!
I have a passion for designing, building, and implementing digital solutions. I do this on my own and also together with teams. I use PHP, SQL, Bootstrap, and Git among other things, in an agile way of working.
I graduated from the Erasmus university in Rotterdam in August 2021, with a major in economics and a minor in entrepreneurship. Want to chat and exchange ideas? Reach out to me via LinkedIn!
Linkpage.bio allows users to overcome the 1 link limit on social media by creating a landing page with multiple links, images, and other media. The user can paste the link to that landing page in their "bio" AKA the profile description of their account on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and other social media platforms. Check out an example by going to: linkpage.bio/olivier.
Highlights so far:
• Used by consumers and businesses globally, including by the Indian division of Sony Pictures (archive.vn/goKvO)
• Made it past the semi-finals and was chosen to pitch at the final round of pitches, out of a total of 21 startups for the entrepreneurship minor at the UvA; did not win 1st place unfortunately
...• 1st paying customer within the first two weeks of launching
• 100+ active users within first month of launch
Unlike other tools like Linktr.ee, Linkpage.bio offers user the ability to truly customize their link pages including animating their page!
Following my pitch of my startup, ShareableURL.com, I was accepted into the TSEP. "The Talented Student Entrepreneur Programme assists high-potential student entrepreneurs from Erasmus University in combining their studies with running their businesses". Joining the TSEP has helped me expand my network and get to know many interesting people in the startup scene. For more info, check out ece.nl/tsep.
Noteworthy achievements:
• Used by Nathan Piland, a TikTokker with over 4 million followers, to create multiple song pages including songURL.com/scream (see on internet archive: archive.is/AeiJm)
• Two paying customers in one week who paid $5 USD each, which was lower than money spent on Google ads that week ($1 USD).
• Had weekly mentoring sessions with Bas Lemmens, cofounder of Booking.com
• Accepted into Talented Student Entrepreneur Programme at Erasmus Centre of Entrepreneurship
Explanation of ShareableURL.com:
...Unlike other URL shorteners (like tinyURL.com or bit.ly), shareableURL.com offers users a variety of descriptive domains to choose from to shorten & customize their links to make them more transparent, including:
- MeetingURL.com
- EpisodeURL.com
- SongURL.com
- PodcastURL.com
- PlaylistURL.com
- Groupch.at
and more!
ShareableURL.com also allows users to shorten their links with their own domain name (like their company domain) if they have one. Futhermore, ShareableURL.com allows to protect their links with reCAPTCHA and/or a password. Lastly, ShareableURL.com provides users with a dashboard with stats like how many clicks their links have gotten.
As external relations officer of the Entrepreneurial Commitee, I was responsible for building strategic connections with organizations.
