Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoren Broekema is a freelance web developer with 8 years of experience specializing in frontend engineering, web components, and design systems, with a strong focus on designer-developer tooling. He has driven significant open source impact as a Style Dictionary maintainer and contributor to high-profile projects like Lion and open-wc, and helped bring Style Dictionary to mass adoption through major refactors and community revitalization. At Tokens Studio and ‹div›RIOTS he built platform tooling, SDKs and Figma Tokens workflows that bridge design systems and developer workflows. Known for pragmatic full-stack contributions—from dev-server and build tooling improvements to component APIs—he pairs product-minded thinking with rigorous testing and release work. Based in Utrecht, he mixes an industrial design background (MSc Eindhoven) with hands-on engineering, which shows in his attention to design tokens, tooling UX and cross-platform style generation. Open to freelance or permanent roles, he often roots solutions in developer ergonomics rather than flashy front-end tricks.
