Frans Holop is a Senior Web Developer based in Amsterdam with 12 years of hands-on experience blending full-stack engineering and operations. He builds and maintains reliable, user-focused web applications while also owning the tooling and infrastructure that keep services available and observable. His background ranges from backend contributions to Django itself and the popular Wagtail CMS to front-end polish on dashboard projects, showing comfort across framework internals and UX details. At RIPE NCC and prior roles he has shaped CI, monitoring, and AWS-backed deployments, bridging development and DevOps in production. Known for fixing tricky framework bugs and improving documentation, he quietly improves developer experience as much as end-user features. Frans’s dual-degree background in computer science and British/American studies hints at a pragmatic engineer who communicates clearly across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
