Over Dirk

Senior React Native and TypeScript engineer with five years of experience building and modernising production applications. I specialise in React Native mobile applications, React architecture, accessibility and the simplification of complex existing codebases. At VGZ, I develop features according to modern accessibility standards, improve application architecture and introduce scalable React patterns that help teams deliver new functionality safely and efficiently. In previous projects, I built a React Native navigation application from the ground up, including wearable integration and OpenStreetMap-based navigation. I have also delivered full-stack platforms using React, Next.js, TypeScript, Python and AWS serverless services. I can contribute as a senior mobile or frontend engineer while also working comfortably across APIs, cloud infrastructure and databases. I am particularly effective in projects involving application modernisation, architectural improvements, performance, accessibility or complex integrations. Core expertise: • React Native, React and TypeScript • Mobile application architecture • Accessibility and reusable component systems • Next.js, Zustand and Redux • Jest, unit testing and end-to-end testing • AWS Lambda, API Gateway, CDK and Cognito • Python, PostgreSQL and DynamoDB
