About my work
12+ years online experience as a developer & designer
Nowadays my primary focus is front-end development, but I have a background in design. My experience in both fields leads to better user experiences in less time.
Front-end development
I have extensive knowledge of HTML, CSS & JavaScript (ES6), experience with the 3 most popular frameworks (React,Vue & Angular) and TypeScript. Add a lot of curiosity, creativity and a GTD-mentality and you have a pretty complete picture of me.
Digital designer
I speak the designer mumbo-jumbo and dare to make design decisions while coding. This saves valuable development time, endless ping-ponging with designers and often looks even better than the original design. I also do not hesitate to work out something in Figma or Sketch myself.

🔍These are just a few of the technologies I've worked with. Are you looking for specific skills? Don't hesitate to ask!
Six things you probably like to know from me
Unfortunately, I'm currently not available for another freelance assignment. But you can always get acquainted, who knows, maybe I can put you in touch with someone from my network.
My standard hourly rate is €95 per hour. But between €80 & €90 I'd be happy to talk to you. ;)
I am a real hands-on worker and I am constantly experimenting with new techniques and tools. So I'm used to making things my own quickly. Are you looking for very specific skills? Please contact me to see if I can help you with that!
A few years ago I exchanged the Randstad for green Arnhem in the Netherlands. Is Arnhem too far away from your organization? That shouldn't be a problem, since I'm used to working remotely.
Next.js (framework based on React) and Tailwind CSS. I made the first draft with Eleventy, but JSX is just so nice to work with (and React's ecosystem = 🔥).
As someone who has used OOCSS/BEM extensively I was first a bit sceptical towards Tailwind CSS. But after seeing this video I took the plunge. True, it makes for some pretty ugly HTML (also the author of Tailwind admits), but hey, it's sucha time-saver! Because you can 'compose' classnames you do not have to switch between your markup and styles, you do not have to make concessions in terms of design and your CSS file is a lot smaller. 👌
I would really like to tell you that I do deep sea diving and tame manatees, but that's a lie. When I'm not behind my laptop, I prefer to be outdoors. Here in Arnhem you have beautiful trails where you can run, walk and cycle. I also read a lot and like to go out to eat.
But I still like do stuff on my laptop, even when I'm off work. Then I enjoy working on my side projects (think of tools, plugins and web apps based on JavaScript/Node.js).
Are you looking for a top-shelf front-end developer and designer? Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, are interested in working together or just want to have a chat.
