Michiel Bouw

About

As a mainly (frontend) JavaScript-specialised developer, I am passionate about directly solving technical challenges involving the end user. Having worked with a variety of technologies, primarily using JavaScript, in a wide range of projects in different teams, I have become an all-round JavaScript developer.

I am a dedicated team player who enjoys working actively and closely with others to achieve the best results and share this knowledge to enable and lead those around me to thrive in what they do. In addition, I am a fast learner interested in overseeing the big picture.

Career & Skills

After working on freelance projects during my studies, I worked full-time as a frontend developer focussing on JavaScript at Bynder in 2016.

Then, looking for new challenges, I joined Capgemini in 2019 as a frontend developer consultant. Later, I moved over to the design agency Idean, a part of Capgemini.

More recently, I worked at Smartly.io with multiple teams on a large SaaS product as one of their Lead Software Engineers.

From that experience, I co-founded a company where I now work as a Lead/Senior Software Engineering Consultant. Via this company, I support and work with clients diverging from financial startups to large B2B SaaS or even B2C e-commerce companies.
