Top SchoolErik Nijland is a Senior Front End Developer with 11 years of experience delivering enterprise-scale, high-availability web applications from North Holland.

His work at FedEx/TNT included rebuilding Track & Trace for hundreds of millions of daily users, introducing shared Angular modules, CI/CD pipelines, and stabilizing flaky E2E tests.
