Kubb is an open-source meta framework for code generation and the project I spend most of my open source time on. Point it at a Swagger or OpenAPI spec and it generates the TypeScript types, clients, and hooks for you, so your frontend and backend stop drifting apart. As founder and maintainer I drive the architecture, build and review plugins, write the documentation, and support a growing community of contributors and users.

As a Front-end Developer within the product team at Robovision, my primary focus is the technical evolution and feature-delivery of our product suite using Vue.js. Here I used my previous knowledge to update our frontend architecture with the latest tools (like Nx, Typescript, ...). As an AI company, the focus was also on the integration and use of AI tools.

After a year of being a front-end developer in the product/hive team, I got the chance to become the front-end lead developer. And one of my main responsibilities has been to ensure that our projects are delivered on time and to a high standard of quality. Next to that, I was also responsible to mentor and helping out other team members with the technical implementation of features(and code reviews).
To create a really good product I was also in contact with our stakeholders to discuss the future and progress of our products, determine what is important and discuss that further with the team.

In addition to managing my team, I have also been responsible for staying up-to-date on the latest front-end technologies and best practices. I have done this by participating in industry events, attending training sessions, and keeping an eye on new trends and innovations in the field. I also took the time to create documentation based on discussions we had and foresee some architectural context around the why's and best practices for the front end.

Next to that, I took the opportunity to update our stack(React, Jest, Typescript, Ant-Design, Monorepo structure, generated API clients, Zustand, Zod,...). This new way of working would benefit the team and would also make sure we can easily scale our products.

As part of the product/hive team, I helped out with the transformation from a +15-year old desktop application to a web-based application. My main role consists of working together with product owners and developers to create the best possible solution based on the needs of our customers. Implement that in an agile way of working and all of this with a good amount of focus on quality(including code reviews, testing,...).
Next to that I also helped together with my lead developer to mentor other front-end developers on a stack that was built with React, Redux, Typescript and an internal component library. All of this was one of the objectives to create a multi-tenant strategy based on a micro-service architecture.

My main task at Aptus was helping out the Energy Lab team in developing tools that our customers could use to track and help out their employees to sport and move more. With over 20 customers it was constantly switching between projects but still maintaining a good generic component library. All of this was written in React and GraphQL.

As part of the Messagent Development team, I helped out creating the different screens for the different products of BNP and Hello Bank. At that moment all products were written in Jquery and Vanilla Javascript. So when a new project was introduced I volunteered myself to create and try out if it was possible to create that product in React(with Redux and Typescript). It was not possible, for security reasons, to use all libraries that I was used to so we needed to find some workarounds. After a couple of sprints, Company Makers was launched and from that moment it can be used by customers of BNP to create easily your new company online.

As an intern at Smappee, I had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a variety of IT-related tasks and projects. My main responsibilities was creating a helpdesk tool(written in Meteor.js) to track the status of the different Smappee devices.
Next to that, I helped the mobile team to finish up the app(written with Cordova) used for the Smappee Gas & Water device. The launch of this new product was planned at the end of my internship. In this team, I learned how to use Agile in practice and how to work together with other developers.
