About Wouter
I’m a senior front-end developer with over 10 years of experience working on large-scale SaaS platforms and complex web applications. I specialize in turning thoughtful design into fast, scalable, and intuitive interfaces — collaborating closely with designers, engineers, and product teams.
My recent work has focused heavily on media integration: from building a custom video player tailored for editorial workflows, to developing AI-powered tools for generating dynamic audio ads. These high-impact tools were designed to improve speed, usability, and team productivity.
I have hands-on experience with modern front-end stacks (Vue, Nuxt, React, TypeScript, Tailwind), component libraries (Storybook), and automated testing (Vitest, Playwright). Whether building from scratch or improving an existing product, I bring a pragmatic mindset, a sharp eye for detail, and a strong sense of collaboration.
I'm currently open to freelance front-end opportunities — especially where thoughtful design meets technical complexity.
