Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGijs Nijholt is a pragmatic software engineer with 15 years building web and geo-focused applications, from GIS visualizations at Nelen & Schuurmans to front-end React mapping work at Spatial Eye and full‑stack product development at Office App. Trained in Interaction Design (MA) and with a prior nursing bachelor, he blends human-centered design sensibilities and real-world empathy into pragmatic engineering. He prefers calm, sensible workflows over trendy processes and consistently ships side projects—most notably sustainability-focused apps helemaalgroen.nl and zonnegrens.nl. Comfortable across the full stack, his strengths lie in front-end UX, spatial data visualization and turning complex geo-data into usable interfaces. A solo developer/designer/entrepreneur by inclination, he brings steady delivery and multidisciplinary perspective to product teams. Based in 's‑Hertogenbosch, he keeps honing practical solutions rather than chasing buzz.
