Summary
Jens Van Steen is a product-focused mobile and web engineer with 8 years of experience building React Native and iOS-first experiences for startups and enterprise clients. He combines hands-on engineering with product ownership, having led migrations from monoliths to micro-front-end architectures and reduced build times and manual operations through pragmatic automation. As a former Technical Co-Founder in Residence at Antler and current startup co-founder, he’s comfortable taking ideas from validation to shipping, particularly in social, coliving, and creator-facing products. He’s delivered performance, security, and design-system improvements at scale—cutting builds by hundreds of hours monthly and hardening apps against reverse engineering. Based in Amsterdam, he splits time between indie freelance projects and launching a stealth startup, often tinkering with new concepts across dev tooling, 3D design, mental health, and EV tech. Colleagues describe him as an entrepreneurial engineer who prefers shipping product outcomes over pure engineering for its own sake.
