**Available for new projects**

Hi, I'm Sjoerd. I'm a freelance developer from Rotterdam and I build custom websites and web applications for entrepreneurs.

With Codavo, I help entrepreneurs who are ready for the next step. No templates, no standard solutions - but software that does exactly what your business needs. Thanks to AI-driven development, I can build faster and more efficiently, making custom work affordable for every business.

## Background

Before starting Codavo, I spent 7 years as a Senior Integration Engineer at Eneco, the largest energy company in the Netherlands. There I built the API management platform and the event streaming platform (Kafka). I bring that enterprise experience into every project: scalable thinking, reliable architecture, and integrations that work.

## My approach

You talk directly to the person building your product. No account managers, no handoffs, no miscommunication. I pick up ideas quickly and act on feedback right away, so we keep moving fast. I actively think along in solutions instead of just executing, and I genuinely try to understand the feeling and experience you want to create for your customers. From the first idea to well after launch.

## Technology

I work with modern, proven technology: Vue.js, Nuxt, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Supabase, and Cloudflare. Fast, secure, and scalable.
