Hi, I'm Steven,

Front-End Developer

Are you looking for a front-end developer who is communicative, who works independently and in a team, and above all who has a passion for everything that has to do with UI? Let me know! I also have a background in design/ecommerce.

When I'm not in front of the computer I love being outdoors. In my profile picture i'm participating in The Nuts Challenge!

About my work

15+ years experience as a developer & designer

My focus is on front-end development, but I have a work history 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 popular frameworks like React and both REST and GraphQL APIs. In addition I bring curiosity, creativity and a GTD mentality.

Digital Designer

I'm able to speak the designer language and dare to make design choices while coding. This saves valuable development time, endless back and forth 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.

Curriculum Vitae

I have worked on a range of websites and apps for many organisations.

From personal sites and startups, to global businesses such as Marks and Spencer, Facebook, Sandisk, Feefo and Lowepro.
