Tim Bormans

Senior Full-Stack / Frontend Engineer

Summary

Senior full-stack / frontend engineer (React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js) based in Amsterdam with 19+ years of experience building consumer-facing products for web and mobile. I’ve helped teams ship products used by millions of people, from rebuilding SoundCloud’s web app from the ground up to architecting the front-end for STAGE+, Universal Music Group’s classical streaming platform, and helping Tele2 launch their flagship mobile app. I enjoy turning complex product ideas into polished, maintainable software, working closely with design, product and engineering.
