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.

Based on my previous work experience, I co-founded a company where I now work as a Lead/Senior Software Engineering Consultant. Through this company, I support and work with clients ranging from financial startups to large B2B SaaS or even B2C e-commerce companies. I've had the privilege of working in some exciting roles over the years, each offering unique experiences and lessons.

Currently, I work mainly as a Lead Software Engineer, leading frontend development, for example, within complex e-commerce platforms and extensive SaaS applications. I thrive on challenges that allow me to lead teams, shape technical roadmaps, and create impactful solutions.
