about me

Hello! I'm AJ, a freelance software engineer based in Amsterdam. I specialize in developing efficient and scalable applications, leveraging my expertise in a variety of tools and technologies such as Shopify, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS. Whether it's crafting small personal websites or building large e-commerce platforms, I thrive on delivering custom solutions tailored to my clients' needs.

In addition to my front-end skills, I have a strong background in Kotlin (with experience in Infrastructure and Jetpack Compose) and Java (specifically with Spring Boot). My passion for backend development has led me to work with MVVM, APIs, and various backend tools, allowing me to create robust and reliable systems. I love coding, solving complex problems, and tackling projects that challenge me to grow and learn.

I've had the privilege of collaborating with clients like SUMIBU and The New Originals, helping them bring their visions to life.

If you're looking for a dedicated developer to elevate your next project, let's connect! Feel free to reach out via email.
