About

---

I’m a self-taught developer that works with Ruby on Rails since 2009, when I picked up the ‘Agile Web Development with Rails’ book for Rails 2.1, and haven’t looked back since. I love the beauty of the Ruby language and the power tools Rails give me.

In recent years I’ve worked with both React and Vue for frontend heavy projects for and started to love TypeScript. For 2022 I’m excited about the developments on the Hotwire front.

🖥 Services

You can hire me to speed up your team, help you create a MVP of your latest idea or for the occasional work that does not require a full development team. I have lots of experience across the full stack: from Rails on the backend to Stimulus and Turbo on the frontend. For even heavier frontends I’ve worked with with Vue and React as well. This helps me get up to speed very fast and start delivering value as soon as possible.

I write clean, tested code. I have a strong Product focused background, having worked in Product related roles for years as well. I focus on delivering impact and a great user experience. I enjoying working both in existing, structured teams or as a single developer together with non-technical people.

👍 Recommendations

I've worked with Dennis as one of Springest's lead developers and product owners for nearly 10 years... It was a sad day when he chose to follow his dreams outside of Springest. But of course we're mostly grateful and part ways as friends. I'd hire him in any product / technical / development role any time I'd get the chance again. He was always able to talk strategy at a high level with people on the business side, and at the same time lead complex development projects together with (other) developers.
