About

Hi, I’m Nils.

I've been building for the web since 1995, back when table layouts, spacer GIFs and browser quirks were part of everyday life. The technology has changed dramatically since then, but I still enjoy the same things: solving problems, learning new things and building things that work well.

I started my career at EdenSpiekermann in Amsterdam before spending six years living and working in Asia. In Singapore and Tokyo I worked as a freelance Front-end Web Developer on projects for agencies, startups and international organisations.

I'm now back in Amsterdam, working as a Software Developer at Studio HENK. My work spans e-commerce, front-end development and internal tools. Outside of work I explore things like Python, Astro, Blender automation and developer tooling.

I prefer straightforward solutions over unnecessary complexity. Not every problem needs a framework or another dependency.
