Summary
Daniel Van Der Meer is a seasoned programmer with 15 years of professional experience building open-source web music software and browser-based audio/MIDI tools. Based in the Randstad, Netherlands, he creates reusable modules—sequencers, sample players and score viewers—that power projects like heartbeat.js and the newer WebDAW. His background blends a conservatory music education with deep web development skills dating back to Java and ActionScript work, enabling him to bridge musicality and technical engineering. He has a track record of prototyping music-education platforms and synchronizing remote/local audio, MIDI and video streams for online learning and collaboration. Often working as a one-person maintainer and integrator, he has helped companies like MusicFirst adopt and debug browser-based audio toolchains. Colleagues value his rare combination of musician’s intuition and pragmatic open-source craftsmanship.
