What I'm Looking For
After 9 years of freelancing, I'm ready for the next chapter: a permanent senior front-end role where I can contribute to a product that matters and collaborate closely with a talented team.
Team Environment
Working alongside designers, product owners, and engineers. Real collaboration, not corporate bureaucracy.
Modern Stack
Vue.js/Nuxt or React/Next.js. TypeScript. Modern tooling and architecture.
Hybrid Working
Randstad area (Utrecht, Amsterdam, Rotterdam). Hybrid schedule - not fully remote, not 5 days on-site.
Product Focus
Building something real. Users I can learn from. Impact I can measure.
Growth & Learning
A company that values code quality, technical excellence, and continuous improvement.
Based in the Netherlands and open to opportunities in the Randstad area.
