Hi, I'm Pez, a contracting lead full stack web developer and director of Peg Productions BV. I specialise in front-end work, but have experience in a wide variety of development stacks, building MVPs for small companies, SaaS development at scale, and web development consultancy.

My background and life outside of software engineering, allows me to take advantage of thinking from an engineering, business, or product perspective, and find a happy medium to help teams communicate effectively and deliver work that everyone is happy with.

I'm always interested in challenging & inspiring remote positions in smaller, usually remote first, companies.
