We’d like to introduce our new intern, Davy! Davy is from (in his own words) the beautiful city of Nijmegen and is currently in the final phase of his HBO-ICT degree at HAN University of Applied Sciences. With a background in Application and Media Development and a strong interest in development and AI, he brings a fresh mix of technical skills, curiosity, and energy to Orange Juice.
Outside of work, he rarely sits still: from fitness and festivals to reading manga and watching anime. Sundays are reserved for watching Formula 1 with his father. And as if that wasn’t enough, he has also been working at Albert Heijn for almost six years, where he spends his evenings effortlessly collecting hundreds of shopping carts. #Energy? Safe to say he has plenty.
My name is Davy de Bruin, I’m 23 years old and I live in Nijmegen. I’m currently in the final phase of the HBO-ICT program at HAN University of Applied Sciences, and I previously completed an MBO degree in Application and Media Development. In my free time, I practice playing electric guitar, enjoy watching anime, and read manga. I work out about three times a week and like going to festivals. On Sundays, I usually watch Formula 1 with my father. Alongside my studies, I’ve been working at Albert Heijn for almost six years.
Through the HAN Company Market. I started talking with the Orange Juice team, including Chris and Lars, at their stand. As soon as I heard there was an internship assignment focused on AI, I was immediately interested. The combination of the exciting assignment and the company culture at Orange Juice made the decision easy for me.
I want to deepen my knowledge of implementing AI within projects and build an AI agent myself. I also want to improve my professional communication skills during meetings and become less perfectionistic, so I can work more efficiently.
Social interaction with colleagues, sharing jokes at work, and the moment when something technical works exactly as expected.
Good jokes and humor in the office.
I bring a solid technical foundation in development, enjoy thinking along about solutions, and pay close attention to the quality and functionality of code. I’m open to feedback and believe clear communication is important whenever needed.
I want to focus less on school requirements and dive deeper into the tech stack I’m working with. I’ve done a lot of back-end development, but I’m also interested in front-end work. Ultimately, I’d like to move toward a full-stack role.
The number 29 shows up surprisingly often in my life: my birthday is May 29, my girlfriend’s is September 29, and we started our relationship on January 29, 2025. I also plan my schedule around Formula 1 weekends, sometimes choose festivals over sleep, and I’m an enthusiastic manga reader.
