My name is Stijn Van Wijmeersch, but you can
Senior Software Engineer with +20 yrs of experience building for web.Front-end focused, with a strong appreciation for good UX and thoughtfully designed products
Ever since I was a kid, I've been fascinated by technology and the world wide web. Watching the way we communicate evolve in ways we couldn't have imagined a decade ago is what got me excited to become a developer.
In a way, every developer is part of those changes by setting new goals, pushing technology to its limits, but most of all creating new possibilities when working on new ideas. It's a world where the impossible doesn't exist: if you can dream it, you can build it.
Over 20 years in, that excitement hasn't faded. Learning new technologies still gives me a lot of energy and satisfaction, and I genuinely hope I can keep doing what I love: learning new things, building better applications, and hopefully amazing a few people along the way.
