(Full stack) Web Developer. Specialising in JavaScript, React, Node.js, TypeScript, and modern front-end. With a background in computer science, I create rich applications for the Internet and mobile platforms. Both in the front-end and in the back-end.
Let me introduce myself, my name is Gaya Kessler, a developer living in the Netherlands. Opinionated, always ready for a discussion, and to help build something great.
I am passionate about creating the best for the web, always keeping up with the latest in web technologies. This allowed me to work on a lot of different projects, and thus experience what works and what doesn’t in various different situations.
What I am Good at
Subjects I mainly focus on are JavaScript (and TypeScript), front-end development, React, Redux, WebPack, Single Page Applications, mobile apps (React Native), and back-end JavaScript using Node.js.
I love to work in agile environments, both on site and with remote teams.

Teaching and Mentoring Other Developers
What I love to do is to teach people all I know about JavaScript, React, Node, remote work, and other subjects.
I can teach you and your team about new technologies and the ideas behind them.
Find it hard to get a grip on React and Redux? Don’t know how to start using modern JavaScript? I can arrange a workshop for your needs.
Hire me
Hire me for freelance JavaScript / React development as well as solving the whole front-end tool stack of your projects. My experience lies in creating solid and stable applications which teams of developers like to keep working on and improve.
My strength is that because I have a computer science background, I know how to structure and create the right architectures for complex web applications. I also have an eye for code quality and following best-practises.
Experience
I have been working in web development professionally from 2006. Since then I’ve seen a lot of trends come and go, which has formed a solid opinion on what works, and what doesn’t.
In the past I have worked on projects of various sizes. This helped me in choosing the right tool for the job. From small JavaScript widgets to full blown applications; anything is possible.
