Who am I?

I’m a passionate software engineer and architect, specialising in node.js, React and distributed systems.

I’m the lead maintainer for the Terser JS minifier. The project is funded on OpenCollective. Would you like to contribute?

What have I done?

• I have worked alongside a team to create the new economist.com website.
• Built a user-friendly programming language for Decipad, the interactive digital notebook from the ground up, seamlessly integrating text and GUI elements.
• Architected and began gradually replacing the web architecture for a popular NewsUk website, using a reactive architecture for performance, compute savings and ease of development.
• I helped gradually rewrite the qasa.nl website into a more modern architecture.
• I was the lead maintainer of the Ink framework for two years
• I created a Javascript to C++ transpiler which works for 10% of Javascript code
• I have created some npm modules
• My github repositories, with plenty more stuff

Talks

• React, GraphQL and Relay in practice at the React London Meetup
• Front-end performance at Fullstack LX 2017
• Creating a programming language at require(‘lx’) in 2018

What can I do for you?

Besides full-time and part-time remote work, I enjoy working as a freelancer. I could help your company:

• Develop desktop, mobile or web applications using a variety of programming languages
• Architect efficient systems for websites, apps and more
• Create a new programming language or write software that transforms codebases. I’ve made (as stated above) a language for an interactive notebook for a startup, and maintained the Terser minifier for almost a decade.
• Optimise your javascript, HTML and CSS to make sure your website loads faster than your competition, augmented with my intimate knowledge of the JS bundling and chunking process. More performance means more conversion (according to Google)!
