Summary
Dennis Passway is a Senior Front-end Developer based in Nijmegen with 12 years of experience crafting interactive web and mobile products using React, Next.js, TypeScript and headless CMSs. He thrives on building delightful digital tools and improving tech stacks, from high-performance React Native apps for older devices to fully static content sites powered by Sanity and similar systems. After a stint leading and mentoring a front-end team, he voluntarily stepped back to focus on hands-on creation, reflecting a bias toward craft over management. His background spans agencies and startups, shipping work for clients like DPG Media, Rijkswaterstaat and GGD, and he also co-founded a small digital-and-merch business that grew out of personal projects. Dennis combines UX-minded interaction design roots with pragmatic engineering, often introducing new tooling and processes to boost team productivity. Outside work he pursues personal experiments and non-digital making, signaling a continual curiosity that feeds his professional work.
