Senior Web Developer at Trifork
Randstad, Netherlands
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Gerrissen is a Senior Web Developer with 16 years' experience crafting lean, maintainable frontends and optimizing server/client interactions from the Netherlands' Randstad. Grounded in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, he combines hands-on implementation with deep curiosity—having once built his own CSS selector engine and a JavaScript module system—to understand libraries at a core level and spot issues others miss. He emphasizes well-formed HTML and maximal use of CSS to reduce JavaScript dependency, producing cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code. As a consultant at Trifork and long-term contributor at agencies like Net Effect, he has delivered across high-profile clients including VPRO, Het Financieel Dagblad and Swisscom. Ben values deleting redundant code as much as building features, and mentors juniors to explore low-level exercises that accelerate frontend mastery.
