Resumé

Hi, I'm Nick! I'm a senior front-end developer with 8 years of experience in a broad spectrum of projects.

TL;DR

I'm a senior front-end developer with 8 years of experience in a broad spectrum of different projects.

At my current job—at a design agency specialized in data visualisation—I worked on highly complex projects for an interesting variety of clients. During some of those projects, I took on a technical team lead role, leading several junior and medior developers. In that role, I was responsible for the more technical client communication as well as the architecture, maintainability and general 'workability' of the codebase and both people and machine processes around testing, reviewing and deploying code.

In 2018 I graduated cum laude as a Bachelor of Science at Communication and Multimedia Design at the Amsterdam University of Applied Science. The study educates T-shaped designers with a basis in user experience design, along with a broad choice of electives. I took mainly front-end development electives.
