Sander de Vries · Leeuwarden, NL

After graduating in Application Development, I completed Communication & Multimedia Design in Leeuwarden. I now work as a full-stack developer at Basticom, building custom websites and web applications with a focus on performance, usability, SEO, flexible content management and clean implementation.

My work spans frontend and backend with React, Next.js, TypeScript, PHP and WordPress. I’ve tracked 1,271 hours and 34 minutes Updated 20 minutes ago of coding so far, including 0 minutes Updated just now today. Outside of work, I’m usually behind the decks, digging through records, reading, or exploring whatever catches my attention.

Operating principles

Clear decisions, short loops and something real to react to.

  1. 01

    Find the actual need

    Before choosing a stack, I clarify the goal, the user and the smallest version worth building.

  2. 02

    Build the right amount

    I choose the simplest stack that fits, then move quickly into something real enough to test and improve.

  3. 03

    Refine the experience

    Responsive behaviour, subtle motion, accessible choices, readable code and a clear CMS turn a working build into a finished product.

The stack

Over 10 years, 9 months and 2 days, I’ve built broad experience across frontend, backend, CMS development, automation, and digital product design. I choose the tools and libraries that best fit the problem, rather than forcing every project into the same stack.

That keeps my work flexible, practical, and focused on the right solution. Over the past month, PHP 24 hours and 20 minutes this month · 26% of my coding has been my most-used language, with most of that time spent on sanderr.nl 23 hours and 26 minutes this month · 25% of my coding.
