Summary
Chiel Robben is a pragmatic full-stack software engineer with 13+ years building robust web applications for financial and pharmaceutical clients, now contributing at TV 2 Danmark while running his consultancy 51ˢᵗ. He specializes in the React ecosystem (Next.js, TypeScript, Web Components) but is equally comfortable working framework-free and across back-end Python services and Unix-like systems.

As a founder of product and consultancy ventures (including the Zapla booking app), he brings an operator’s eye for evolving greenfield projects into maintainable products and enjoys seeing teams grow alongside the software.
