Summary
Yannick Van Avermaet is a seasoned freelance frontend developer with 11 years of experience crafting semantic HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript for large publishers and enterprise clients. He blends hands-on frontend craftsmanship with a strong emphasis on SEO, accessibility, security and GDPR-compliant delivery, treating these concerns as part of the development baseline rather than add-ons. Comfortable stepping into backend (Java, Node.js) and cloud roles (GCP, AWS), he has led teams and shipped complex projects like the VTM GO streaming platform and enterprise second‑hand equipment sites. His background as a technical architect and advertising specialist gives him a rare combination of product-minded thinking and low-level implementation skills, from templating with Thymeleaf to integrating video ad platforms. Based in Kortrijk, Belgium, Yannick repeatedly bridges editorial needs and engineering constraints to deliver pragmatic, resilient web experiences.
