Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

My name is Thom Wensink, a 33-year-old freelance digital designer & front-end developer. I am from Bredevoort (the Achterhoek region) and after traveling the world for years, I now live in Utrecht. I graduated from HAN University of Applied Sciences in Communication & Multimedia Design. In my free time, I watch series, enjoy running, and ride my motorcycle around the Veluwe.

A pixel perfectionist, advocate for structure through design systems, and a champion for thorough user research. I strive to bring structure wherever I go and am also involved in the building process to ensure my clients receive the product they deserve.

I notice my interest lies primarily in the visual aspect of front-end development. The expertise in front-end development increasingly demands analytical skills due to the integration of JS frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue. I have worked with these frameworks, but if you want to leverage my strengths, let me work primarily with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

My added value is that I am a designer with communication skills. I also manage scrum teams and participate in other dev teams. Therefore, I know what communication and project management skills are needed to make projects successful.

I stand for authenticity, high quality, and keeping my word.
