👤
SeniorRijk Van Wel is a seasoned full‑stack freelance developer based in Ghent with 11 years of professional experience and 18 years turning code into user-loved products. He partners with startups that need a single technical lead rather than an agency, owning design, frontend, backend and delivery to take ideas from prototype to ship. His background spans building React Native apps at scale, lead developer roles for international web platforms, and crafting polished e‑commerce and mobile experiences for clients like Edgard&Cooper and Make Time.
