Front-end development

I have worked with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to develop websites and web applications, and to enhance existing systems with new functionality. Some of my endeavours can be found on GitHub.

These past years I have worked on responsive web sites and some large-scale JavaScript front-end applications. If you are looking for a scheduling application, inventory system, webshop, or another system to make your life easier, contact me.

I like to tinker, play and craft applications that make life easier, make information more accessible and provide users with insight into the processes they work with.

I am an expert in

  • JavaScript
  • TypeScript
  • HTML5
  • CSS
  • XML

  • Vue
  • Nuxt
  • Next

I do my tinkering with

  • Visual Studio Code

I can dance with

  • Object Oriented Programming
  • Webapps
  • Google Cloud

I am skilled in

  • Interaction design

  • CMS and document management systems

I also, sadly, know my way around:

  • Magento
  • other bloated frameworks which make little to no sense

Websites

I've been building websites and web-apps for more than twenty years, using many different technologies, and have gravitated towards Vue and Golang for my most recent projects. I love building apps to make things easier or more insightful.

Freelance projects

I've worked at a lot of different companies such as ING, Schiphol Airport, startup companies, and lots of others. I've worked in front-end, full-stack, and even dev-ops roles and have a lot of experience with building and maintaining websites or components. I've also done backend development, with Golang and NodeJS, and designed databases for those backends to work with. I've worked on apps, administrative software, bookkeeping software, commerce websites, and CMS systems.

Xopus Consultancy

Xopus is the Swiss-army pocket-knife of XML editing. I have worked at Xopus as a support engineer, software engineer, implementation consultant, sales representative, and more when it was still its own company, and also after it had been taken over by SDL PLC. Working at Xopus allowed me to gain extensive experience with writing Schemas (XSD), XSL, and custom JavaScript to make the most user-friendly editing experiences with the Xopus Web-Based XML editor.

XML Consultancy

Schema design, XSL design and most things XML related are second nature to me after working with Xopus for a very long time. If you are looking for help in designing a content model, writing XSL for converting one structure into another, or doing analysis of existing XML, please contact me.
