Summary
Eric Vonk is a pragmatic front-end developer turned professional furniture maker based in Maastricht, combining 11 years of technical experience with a hands-on craft practice. He spent over eight years building and improving UI-first web experiences—shipping mobile-first checkout flows, A/B tests, end-to-end browser tests and refactors at retail and media companies like TopVintage and Bax Music. Eric is comfortable across the full front-end lifecycle, from design-handbook implementation to testing and maintenance, and has supported marketing and email campaigns as well as occasional backend troubleshooting. After retraining at SyntraPXL as a meubelmaker, he now runs his own furniture workshop while retaining deep product-oriented engineering instincts. A detail-oriented problem solver, he brings the rigor of engineering processes to bespoke woodworking, blending digital product discipline with tangible craft.
