Freelance web developer, software engineer and UX/UI designer, Amsterdam

One person. The whole stack. Amplified by AI.

I'm Ruben Bijker, a software engineer in Amsterdam with more than 15 years of experience. I use AI to design, build and run web applications and software. The speed comes from the tools. The direction comes from the years.

DESIGN SYSTEMS

Tokens, components and type that stay consistent as a product grows.

DEVELOPMENT

Code written with AI and read by me, one considered change at a time.

SERVER ARCHITECTURE

Servers, data and the paths between them, set up to keep running.

Services

I design, build and run software. One person, start to finish.

Build
I build products and platforms in whatever fits the job. Next.js, Svelte, Laravel and Python, to name a few. AI does much of the writing. The architecture and the judgment are mine.
Run
I host, monitor and maintain what I build. Vercel or self-hosted Dokploy, on Digital Ocean, Google Cloud, OCI or AWS, with error tracking from day one.
Advise
A steady second opinion on your technology. Roadmap, reviews and decisions, drawn from years of seeing what lasts and what doesn't.

What companies hire me for

Web developer
Fast, findable websites and platforms in Next.js, Webflow or Laravel.
Software engineer
Custom web applications, dashboards and MVPs, from first sketch to production.
UX/UI designer
Interfaces and design systems in Figma that get built the way they were drawn.
