Summary
Kewin Brandsma is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years building high-traffic web applications and enterprise-grade front- and back-end systems across the Netherlands. He specializes in modern JavaScript stacks—TypeScript, Angular, Node/NestJS, MongoDB—and operational tooling like Docker, CI/CD (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure) and testing (TDD/BDD, Cypress). As a long-time freelance JavaScript developer he pairs hands-on implementation with infrastructure ownership, routinely shipping full-stack features and deployment pipelines for clients including government and energy firms. His background includes senior roles at NS, Achmea and Worth, where he helped bridge legacy and modern front-end architectures while improving delivery quality. Fluent in both classic (Backbone, vanilla ES5) and current ecosystems, he’s comfortable modernizing codebases without disrupting production. Based in Heemstede, he brings a linguistics-inflected attention to clear communication and pragmatic documentation alongside technical depth.
