Experience

  • Webtrac
    Technical WordPress Partner | High-End Development & Performance Specialist
    DIGITAL AND IT
    November 2021 - Today (4 years and 8 months)
    Utrecht, Netherlands
    Webtrac is my independent WordPress development studio, dedicated to building high-end, custom websites with a strict focus on performance, technical excellence, and long-term maintainability.

    I act as a strategic technical partner for both B2B companies and marketing agencies. For agencies in particular, I serve as their reliable "fractional" development team—handling everything from maintenance and continuous development to complex technical support for their WordPress portfolio.

    Key experience:

    Scale: Managed the maintenance and optimization of 150+ WordPress websites within an agency context.

    Specialization: Expert in custom theme development, performance optimization, and robust e-commerce solutions.

    Track Record: Since going full-time with Webtrac in 2025, I focus exclusively on sustainable partnerships where technical quality is the priority.

    I don’t just build websites; I ensure they remain fast, secure, and scalable for the long run. Looking for a developer who understands the agency workflow and speaks the language of B2B? Let’s connect.

    March 2023 - March 2025 (2 years)
    Utrecht, Netherlands
    In my role as Lead Developer, I provide structural technical support for the realization, maintenance, and ongoing development of the agency's entire WordPress portfolio.

    Key Responsibilities:

    Custom Development: Architecting and building high-end custom websites and complex e-commerce solutions.

    Core Impact:
    Operating as the sole technical expert in an environment without a dedicated dev department, I’ve streamlined the agency’s development workflow and ensured long-term technical reliability for their clients.
