About me

My name is Daniel van Hoesel, people also call me DEE, the first letter of my name. I'm a freelance full stack developer with more than 17 years of professional experience but I was already writing code since I've built my first computer as a teenager.

I'm x years old and live with my wife and 2 kids in Haarlem, The Netherlands.

When I'm not making software or spending time with my family, I'm building furniture and other interior products that my wife and I are designing and selling via her blog interikleur.com.

I really enjoy the challenge of brainstorming, architecting, and developing new products from concept to production solutions. I work as lean and agile as possible and always write clean, well tested, and maintainable code. I try to deploy as often as I can by making features as small as possible to see if ideas work before wasting time on things no one will use.

I try to work remote or hybrid most of the time.

Have a question or want to discuss a new project? Just email or call me.
