What I'm looking for

I’m open to permanent employment (CIM) and contract or B2B opportunities. I have a strong track record with clients in the UK and the Netherlands and remain open to occasional on-site travel.

At FoodStyles, I’m the sole mobile developer, responsible for the app’s architecture, feature delivery, native modules, release automation, and store deployments. I migrated the app to React Native’s New Architecture and shipped a complete redesign while feature work continued.

I built a virtualized interface and custom caching layer for complex data, keeping scrolling smooth without constant server refetches. I also modernized the codebase with TypeScript, incremental React Query adoption, and production telemetry using Sentry and PostHog.

At LeasePlan, I retrofitted a single-tenant storefront into a multi-tenant system serving over 35 global markets. Earlier, at Movium, I developed four vehicle-rental apps and connected mobile software to payments, trip tracking, and BLE hardware; across my work, I’ve moved between solo mobile ownership and collaborating within larger engineering teams.
