Summary
Bert Bruynooghe is a full stack developer with 11 years of professional experience specializing in pragmatic, reusable web products and progressive web apps built from a functional HTML foundation with CSS and vanilla JavaScript. He combines high-level product thinking with hands-on craftsmanship, prototyping and simplifying complex interfaces while mentoring teams and fostering stakeholder discussions.
