Full Stack Developer at NAVARA
Utrecht, Netherlands
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFreek Wielstra is a pragmatic full-stack developer with 14 years of experience building front-end SPA’s and backend services across React/TypeScript, Go, Java and Node.js, currently consulting at Navara from Utrecht. He has delivered projects spanning serverless e-commerce, telecom configuration UIs, native iOS apps and public-transport tooling, and often owns quality improvements through tooling, standards, testing and automation. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs hands-on coding with pragmatic architecture—especially where REST, SQL and protocol-heavy integrations meet complex domains. He writes well-received technical blogposts and occasionally speaks at conferences, though he prefers focused workshops and craft over public speaking. An understated strength is turning messy, heterogeneous systems (XML, SNMP, custom formats) into consistent, maintainable developer experiences.
