Summary
Hidde Braun is a veteran web developer and consultant based in Amsterdam with over two decades of hands-on experience building PHP/MySQL applications, interaction design, and Symfony-based back ends. He co-founded Driebit in 2001 and has since combined senior development, teaching, and freelance work—mentoring developers and delivering projects for cultural institutions, government, and media clients. Currently he runs his own freelance practice while maintaining pro bono and nonprofit sites like Stichting OOPOEH and developing personal projects. Comfortable across front-end and back-end stacks, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a strong sense for user interaction and long-running maintainability. A less obvious strength is his sustained practice of education—guest lecturing and coaching—that keeps his technical approach grounded in teaching and real-world collaboration.
