Software Development student • Eindhoven • Web + Game development
Welcome to my portfolio website — my name is Julie Janssen. I'm 20 years old and I study software development at SintLucas in Eindhoven.
I enjoy writing stories, socializing, and listening to music. I want to become an autism specialist, and I’m also interested in web development.
I’m the owner and creator of JourHelp, a website where I share calm, personal information about OCD and autism.
I’ve always experienced the world a little differently. After professional assessment, I was diagnosed with an unspecified neurodevelopmental condition.
Many of my traits closely align with autism. While I do not hold a formal autism diagnosis due to strict diagnostic criteria around early childhood documentation, I deeply relate to autistic experiences.
Not everyone who relates to autism has a formal diagnosis, and that doesn’t make their experience any less real.
This perspective plays an important role in how I understand and support others, and is reflected in the work I create through JourHelp.
I’m willing to learn and try new things, I respect others, and I enjoy working in a team.
JourHelp is my website for calm, personal information about OCD, autism, and neurodevelopmental experiences. I created it because, for a long time, I did not feel like my neurodivergent experience was understood. I often felt different, like I did not fully belong. Learning about autism changed my life, and I wanted to create something that could help at least one person feel less alone. I base my work on both personal experience and ongoing research into psychology and neurodivergence.
I like making websites that feel readable, gentle, and easier to start with.
I enjoy building interactive projects with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Unity, and C#.
I care about autism, OCD, mental health, accessibility, and clear explanations.
I began learning how websites, games, and interactive projects are made.
I practiced HTML, CSS, JavaScript, C#, Unity, Blender, and GitHub workflow.
I started building a calm platform around OCD, autism, and personal support.
I want to keep learning web development and become an autism specialist.
These are the outside-of-school projects I’m most proud of:
Awareness guides about OCD and autism with calm explanations, accessible sections, and supportive information.
Fidget Finder is a soft interactive webgame where users find hidden fidgets and keep them in a tray.
A playful webgame about misleading instructions, quick reactions, levels, score, and a little chaos.
No projects found for that search.
I’m happy to talk about my process, what I learned, or how I built them.

The JourHelp guides are part of JourHelp, my own website about OCD and autism. I made these pages to explain both topics in a calm, compassionate, and informative way. The OCD guide includes information about what OCD is, different types, symptoms, treatment, personal stories, and coping strategies. The autism guide focuses on understanding autism, characteristics, strengths, sensory needs, diagnosis, support, and real experiences. The goal is to make both subjects feel easier to start reading, especially for people who may already feel overwhelmed or misunderstood.

I created JourHelp and built the guides to present OCD and autism information in a calm way.
The hardest part was doing research and turning information into clear, readable content.
I learned more about autism, OCD information, and coding a supportive website experience.
StimQuest is a gentle fidget-finding webgame. The player searches a soft, pastel scene for hidden fidgets and collects them in a tray. I focused on creating a low-pressure interaction with no timer, simple controls, and a calm visual style. This project helped me practice playful web interaction while still keeping the experience relaxed and sensory-friendly.

ClickbaitMe is a webgame built around misleading instructions and playful chaos. The player has to react to instructions, but the game is not always honest about what it wants. I worked on the interface, score, levels, streak system, and the overall joke of the experience. It was a fun way to practice JavaScript logic, feedback, and making a small browser game feel complete.

For this project I made a Pong game using Unity and C# scripts. The goal was to get more familiar with Unity, simple game rules, and how objects interact with each other in a scene. I learned how to set up objects, create movement, work with collisions, switch scenes, and add a particle effect. This project helped me understand how small scripts can work together to create a complete game loop.

PointAndClick was my introduction to working with GitHub and pushing updates to a project. I built it with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and created clickable surfaces that trigger dialogue. The tile map was made with Photoshop, so this project combined design work with interactive code. It helped me understand how planning, visual assets, and JavaScript can come together in one web experience.
