Full-Stack Developer

At Rebels, I worked as a Full-Stack Developer at one of Amsterdam's premier tech consultancies, known for placing top engineering talent with leading companies across the Netherlands. Over 2.5 years, I successfully completed 5+ client assignments spanning education technology, social security, telecommunications, and web development sectors, consistently receiving positive feedback for technical excellence and professionalism.

The consultancy model required exceptional adaptability - each assignment brought new technical stacks, team dynamics, business domains, and project methodologies. This environment accelerated my professional growth as I rapidly onboarded to new codebases, mastered unfamiliar technologies, and delivered value within tight timelines. Quick learning and effective communication became essential skills for navigating diverse client contexts.

My technical focus spanned the full stack with particular strength in modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems. Frontend development centered on React and Next.js, building responsive, accessible user interfaces with strong emphasis on component architecture and state management. I implemented complex forms with validation, data tables with sorting/filtering, dashboards with real-time updates, and multi-step workflows. Backend work involved Node.js APIs with Express/Fastify and Java services with Spring Boot, designing RESTful endpoints, implementing business logic, and integrating with databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and external services.

Major client assignments included:

**SURF (2025)** - Enterprise whitelabel platform for educational resources serving 50,000+ users, building shared component libraries and implementing CI/CD pipelines

**VodafoneZiggo (2024-2025)** - React Native mobile application for 3M+ customers, developing design systems and ensuring WCAG accessibility

**Rampage (2021-2022)** - Frontend development building modern web applications with React and TypeScript

**Robidus (2021)** - Social security platform integrating diverse data streams, implementing CI/CD with Jenkins

**Lost Lemon (2020)** - Frontend development for MensCentraal application using SASS and Java JSF/Primefaces

Each assignment reinforced best practices in software development - clean code principles, comprehensive testing, code review, agile methodologies, and effective client communication. I collaborated with cross-functional teams including designers, product managers, QA engineers, and fellow developers, often serving as a bridge between technical and non-technical stakeholders.

The Rebels experience was transformational for my career, exposing me to enterprise-scale systems, diverse technical architectures, and high-performance team environments. It built confidence in my ability to tackle complex technical challenges, adapt to new domains quickly, and deliver professional results consistently. The consultancy's emphasis on continuous learning and technical excellence aligned perfectly with my growth mindset, establishing a strong foundation for senior-level roles.
