Summary
Bram van der Giessen is a Senior Frontend Software Engineer based in Copenhagen with 11 years of experience building multi-platform JavaScript applications, primarily using React. He has spent the last several years designing and optimising IPTV and VOD platforms that run on mobile, smart TVs, consoles and set-top boxes, with a strong focus on performance, micro front-ends and GraphQL. Bram combines production-grade frontend engineering with a research-minded background—his A+ bachelor project used AIS, weather and environmental data to prototype real-time vessel safety insights. Comfortable across frameworks and on-device constraints, he’s equally at home in Vanilla JS, Jest testing and integrating complex platform-specific requirements. Outside work he maintains a steady stream of nerdy side projects, reflecting a pragmatic curiosity that fuels scalable tooling and developer-friendly solutions.
