Erik de Vos

Creative Front-end developer

Experience

Over the course of 15 years, I have worked for various types of companies, gaining experience in a wide range of projects, including big SAAS initiatives, educational software, giant webshops, and agency work for commercial clients.

As a creative Front-end developer, I take pride in my deep knowledge of specific browser issues. I love building a new project from the ground up, but have also fallen in love with Vue and Nuxt. I have worked with many different CMSs, from custom-built management systems to popular open source platforms like WordPress and Umbraco.

In addition, my experience with PHP and databases have given me a core understanding of back-end techniques, enabling me to work in existing projects and communicate with developers more clearly.

Why me?

  • Deep Front-end knowledge.
  • Focus on User Experience (UX).
  • Experienced in CSS animation and vector graphics (SVG).
  • SEO and pagespeed optimization.
  • Experienced at WCAG / Accessibility.
  • Experience with working in an Agile environment with Scrum.
  • Good at working with both Desigers and Technical people.
  • Great at working with product owners, stakeholders and clients.

Projects

My main task as a Front-end developer is translating a graphic design into clean and structured code that a Developer can start working with.

These tasks include setting up the Git respository, setting up the project filestructure and then building the HTML and CSS/Sass. Finally, I bring the design to life through the use of Javascript, CSS, and animations. After that I optimize the code for speed, search engines, and accessibility.

Many of these examples are primarily built from the ground up by me.
