I'm Connor bridging the gap between design & development.

01

Diplora ECG Companion App

Sep 2025 – Jan 2026 Internship

Designing the Flutter companion app for a wearable ECG sensor — from accessible Bluetooth pairing and persistent battery and connection status to a focused symptom logbook — turning daily heart monitoring into something patients aged 75 and over can do confidently, while keeping clinical interpretation with healthcare professionals.

Motivate Instruction Builder

Feb 2024 – Jun 2024 Internship

Designing and building an instruction authoring tool inside Motivate's Platform Management Tool — from writing and approving rich multimedia work instructions to version control and multi-device viewing — replacing scattered files and disconnected external tools with one workflow that factory and assembly teams can rely on at the workstation.

Philips AI-Powered Museum Feedback

Spring 2025 AI For Society Minor

Designing and building an AI-powered feedback wall for the Philips Museum — from OpenAI Vision transcription of handwritten visitor notes to a spatial data visualisation of the wider public debate — turning a static sticky-note wall into a living conversation, with GDPR-safe data handling and automated analytics in place of manual sorting. Built as my AI for Society minor project.

Fontys FitPhone App

Sep 2023 – Oct 2023

Designing and engineering a cross-platform wellness app for young adults aged 18 to 30 — from goal setting and focus metrics to behavioural education and peer accountability groups — replacing screen-time dashboards that show people their habits without ever giving them a reason, or a way, to change them.

About Me

I'm a California native and Dutch-trained designer and developer, recently earning my BSc in ICT Media & Design from Fontys University in Eindhoven (2021–2026). Moving across the world taught me how to adapt quickly and design with deep empathy for diverse audiences.

I don't just hand off Figma mockups and walk away. My sweet spot is bridging the gap between research and production-ready code. Whether I'm building an accessible Bluetooth ECG app for elderly patients at Diplora that passed rigorous user validation, enforcing strict WCAG accessibility standards from day one, or deploying rugged PWAs directly onto factory floors for Motivate.nl, I focus on software built to survive the messy real world.

That pragmatic approach to stripping away hype and building genuinely useful, accessible interfaces stems from my minor in AI for Society, and it drives everything I build.

When I'm away from the screen, you'll usually find me cooking or exploring city architecture. Years of restaurant work taught me how to thrive under pressure in a tight-knit team—a collaborative, high-energy mentality I bring directly to developers, researchers, and stakeholders.
