Senior / LeadSenior Software Developer

Technical strategy and refactoring: Led the identification and remediation of technical debt in the React and NodeJS codebase. Improved code quality in consultation with stakeholders to improve DORA metrics.

Architecture modernisation (Strangler Fig pattern): Facilitated migration with reduced risk by decoupling business logic from framework code.

Accessibility: Coordinated WCAG 2.1 compliance and updated design system components to meet accessibility requirements.

AI integration: Delivered a PoC for AI-driven migration to modern stacks, streamlining development and boosting developer motivation.

Quality: Deployed SonarQube for code quality monitoring. Ran workshops and wrote blog articles to guide developers and reduce technical debt.

Architecture and development: Designed and developed an SDK with React and Redux enabling educational institutions to easily integrate API features for learning and reading.

Team: Provided technical direction to a team of four through code reviews and technical strategy. Addressed the pros and cons of an SDK running on the customer's web page.

Architecture & Documentation: Improved internal processes by modernizing documentation architecture and strategy with Docusaurus. Customers can more easily see how to implement a specific version of the SDK. Particularly the "reverse proxy" for authentication.

Developed an annotation tool for annotating COVID in the lungs using a medical 3D renderer and React. Rendering was performed on a powerful AWS EC2 instance that sent results back to the client via web sockets.

Performance optimization: The hastily set-up renderer had performance issues. After investigation, improved it by avoiding conflicting reactive updates between React and the third-party renderer.

Mentoring: Trained and guided several developers.

Development: Supported and further developed an application with approximately 12 million users using React and Redux.

Stability: Performance analysis and proposal for a long-standing issue where 1% of users experienced a blank screen.

Planned, modularized, and built frontend applications for a language platform, including a web reading application, a news reader browser extension, and more, using React and Redux.

Helped develop a new digital school system where lessons were linked to TED talks and educational YouTube content. Lesson times were started digitally using web sockets.

Developed an accounting frontend with React for API sales to manage subscriptions. Also did design work for the landing page and research documents.

Coaching and mentoring: Actively trained and guided multiple junior developers.

Delivered various technical solutions for clients including SAP and ESA (Rome and Noordwijk). Built strong consulting skills across diverse environments.
