Hey, hi
& hello.

With 15+ years of experience as a front-end developer, I'm committed to making websites that are usable and accessible.

I firmly believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the web. I don't believe in hypes or gimmicks, I build on strong fundamentals. Ethics over aesthetics, always.

After earning my Bachelor Communication and Multimedia Design (CMD) at Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, I started my front-end career at Occhio Web Development.

In 2016, I joined GRRR (Now: Norday), a strategic digital agency, renowned for its commitment to Meaningful Matters.

Freelance front-end developer

I'm proud to be working as a senior front-end developer and accessibility advocate / WCAG specialist at Norday (External link).

In my day-to-day work, I contribute to projects of all sizes as a front-end developer. I'm comfortable working with a wide range of tech stacks, from vanilla setups to modern frameworks like React and Next.js. I have a solid foundation in semantic HTML and CSS, and I am all about clean, maintainable code.

Over the years, I've bridged the gap between design and development when needed.

I have no trouble adapting to new tools and workflows, I know that technologies and frameworks come and go, but solid fundamentals make it easy to evolve with them.

I also perform accessibility audits and quick scans and actively champion accessibility, putting it on the map and ensuring it remains a priority.

I've had the pleasure of working on projects for great clients such as VeiligheidNL (External link), Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (External link), Cordaan (External link) and Gemeente Amsterdam (External link).

I live with my boyfriend and cat in Maarn, Utrechtse Heuvelrug. According to the LIFO model I'm green & yellow, and Facet5 says I'm a "coach". Make of that what you will.

Ethics, human & animal rights and sustainability are topics I'm passionate about. And, I guess it's pretty cliché for a web developer, yes: I like cats and good coffee.

I also like politics, architecture, (interior) design, concerts, our cat, horror- art house movies, Noah Baumbach and hardcore / punk / metal music.

Websites I work on in my spare time: Save Movement Outreach (External link) and De Tanden Op Elkaar (External link)
