Built from scratch for Only for Men, this full-stack e-commerce platform combined an ASP.Net/VB backend with a modern responsive frontend. The project became a launchpad for innovation: the responsive mobile navigation and picture-element image system developed here — both rare in 2015 — were later adopted across 26 other e-commerce client projects.

A large-scale scratch build for Roetgerink, one of the Netherlands' leading fashion outlets. Beyond the technical complexity of a multi-location platform with rich branding, shop, and location templates, I took on the dual role of developer and project manager — inheriting a pre-approved design with significant flaws, and steering a scope-heavy client relationship through to delivery.

During my five years at Nature.House, I led the transformation of our booking platform's Front-end from a legacy jQuery 1.12-based system to a modern, scalable architecture. This evolution involved a complete overhaul of the codebase and the adoption of industry best practices to ensure high performance, accessibility, and maintainability. My efforts helped the company transition from a monolithic structure to a more modular and efficient micro-frontend architecture.
