Top SchoolKoen Schmeets is a versatile freelance software engineer with 14 years of experience building full-stack web and mobile solutions while consulting remotely from the Netherlands and Berlin. He brings deep JavaScript/node.js and PHP expertise, strong PostgreSQL/Redis skills, and production experience with React Native, Docker and CI/CD tooling.
