About

I’m Jonathan Lauwers, a freelance Frontend Developer from Hasselt, Belgium. I specialize in building scalable, high-performance web apps for international clients using React, Next.js and headless CMSs like Contentful and AEM. With 5+ years of frontend experience, I focus on delivering solid component libraries, CMS integrations, authentication, forms/validation, and performance optimization to help startups move faster.

I love collaborating with teams and freelancers to deliver maintainable code, great UX, and robust architectures. When I’m not coding, I stay on top of frontend trends, document solutions, and mentor others to level up their skills.
