Hello, I amΒ Brian van Vlymen

Full-Stack Developer & DevOps Engineer

I specialize in building high-performance web applications and optimized Linux infrastructure. Whether it's crafting GSAP animations or managing secure server environments, I deliver end-to-end digital solutions.

About Me

Brian van Vlymen

Frontend Developer with a deep technical foundation in Full-Stack logic and DevOps practices.

I specialize in creating interactive, high-performance UIs using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and GSAP. I am passionate about crafting seamless user experiences that are not only beautiful but also highly accessible and optimized for speed.

While my primary focus is the Frontend, I bring a unique "Systems Thinking" approach to my code. My project experience includes managing Linux (WSL2) environments, containerizing applications with Docker, and deploying to AWS EC2. I understand how to build interfaces that talk efficiently to the backend.

I am currently looking for my first professional role where I can apply my side-project experience in automated deployments (CI/CD) and modern React development to solve real-world problems.
