About

Hi there! I’m Jono Bouwmeister, a web and ops developer who enjoys turning complex client needs into fast, reliable online systems. I’ve built websites for agencies and nonprofits across the USA, the Netherlands, and locally, and led internal optimization projects for global teams (including Spotify’s Music team) to streamline release tracking and internal workflows. I thrive on creating maintainable tools and scalable processes that empower teams to work smarter, not harder.

Since 2021 I’ve been freelancing, delivering web projects and building internal tools for efficiency. Most recently I joined SimplaDocs as a Senior Developer to assist with client work, and before that led web initiatives at Wild Web as Head of Web (and shareholder), while co-founding two digital printing businesses. I love collaborating with clients, solving real problems, and continually learning new technologies.
