Hi! I'm Patrick Kraaij and I'm a Freelance Senior Full Stack Software Developer

Hire me because you're looking for a developer with...:

  • Full-Stack JavaScript Expertise – I build high-performance web applications and APIs using React, Next.js, NestJS and Express, ensuring seamless user experiences.
  • Scalable & Maintainable APIs – I develop robust, well-documented REST & GraphQL APIs, making integrations smooth and future-proof.
  • User-Centric & Accessible Development – I follow semantic HTML and accessibility best practices, ensuring inclusive and SEO-friendly web applications.
  • Agile & Collaborative Mindset – I work efficiently in Scrum teams, ensuring clear communication, rapid iteration, and alignment with business goals.
  • Seamless Frontend-Backend Integration – I ensure smooth data flow between APIs and React/Next.js frontends, reducing technical debt.
  • Performance & Scalability Focus – I design scalable, maintainable architectures that support business growth without compromising speed.
  • No-Nonsense, Get-It-Done Attitude – I focus on delivering results, solving problems, and keeping things moving—no unnecessary complexity.
  • Former People Manager – With my experience in leading teams, I bring a strong understanding of leadership, team dynamics, and fostering collaboration to drive projects to success.
  • Hard Work, Good Laughs – I take my work seriously, but I also believe a good joke and a positive vibe make projects run smoother.
