Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVincent Smedinga is a Tech Lead Design System with over a decade of experience crafting robust front-end architectures, component libraries and cohesive design systems for public sector and enterprise products. He currently drives the Amsterdam Design System, uniting multidisciplinary teams to translate a city-wide visual identity into reusable web and native components. His background spans hands-on React/TypeScript and React Native development, design-led product work and product ownership—combining UX research, documentation and release discipline to ship consistent, maintainable interfaces. Vincent is pragmatic, creative and enthusiastic, with a track record of turning legacy UIs into scalable component ecosystems (one project reached ~200 components). Based in Utrecht, he brings both the technical depth of a front-end architect and the collaborative instincts of a mentor and team builder. He’s selective about engagements and explicitly does not work with recruiters.
