- Booking.comSenior Software DeveloperMarch 2020 - Today (6 years and 3 months)Amsterdam, NetherlandsExperienced web engineer helping teams design, build, and stabilise high-traffic web products. I work comfortably across front-end and full-stack projects, supporting everything from rapid feature delivery to complex system cleanups and performance optimisation.I specialise in React-based applications (including modern SSR/CSR patterns) and enjoy owning problems end to end: understanding product goals, designing technical solutions, shipping reliably, and validating results with real-world data. I’ve worked on large-scale platforms where experimentation, targeting, and performance matter, and I bring that mindset to any domain or product.I’m often brought in to untangle difficult issues — flaky integrations, rendering inconsistencies, race conditions, or unclear ownership — and turn them into stable, maintainable systems. I’m equally comfortable acting as an individual contributor, technical lead, or consultant: writing production code, reviewing and improving existing codebases, defining patterns, and guiding teams toward better engineering practices.Alongside feature work, I help teams improve code quality, observability, and developer experience through refactoring, documentation, and pragmatic technical-debt reduction. I work closely with product, design, and data stakeholders, and I’m experienced in building privacy- and consent-aware solutions when required.
