Jaap Moolenaar

Jaap is the one you want to have in your team if you need to get stuff done. During our collaboration at ASICS B2B Jaap has displayed very strong skills on every aspect of Software Engineering. From enforcing module standards in Laravel, writing bash tooling to make everyone's life easier, to making our CI/CD pipelines run, Jaap has one of the highest standards in the solutions he provides. The last few years he has worked on one of the most complex projects within the B2B team, which required strong analytical skills, lots of patience, and pragmatic problem solving. Jaap is a great communicator and knows how to convincingly present (technical) ideas to a diverse audience. I hope we can work together in a different context to fire off some kick-ass projects again!

Working with Jaap was amazing. We started our collaboration at the start of an exciting journey on a big global project with numerous challenging and significant tasks ahead of us. Jaap's proficiency in both front-end and back-end technologies is impressive. He has a deep understanding of Laravel, VueJS, Go, and AWS and has consistently delivered high-quality code that meets and exceeds our project requirements. His attention to detail and commitment to best practices have significantly improved our codebase's maintainability and performance. Suppose you have a challenge in this area. Hire Jaap. We will when we see an opportunity.

I have enjoyed working with Jaap over the past 18 months at ASICS Technology. He is an exceptional communicator, able to explain complex concepts in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. Jaap’s creativity shines through in his approach to coding, consistently finding innovative solutions to challenges. Moreover, his code is not only effective but also beautifully written, demonstrating a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Jaap is a true asset to any team, and it has been an absolute privilege to collaborate with him.

Jaap would be one of the first people I'd pick for my team. He's a quick thinker, effortlessly grasps complex problems, and brings value to every stage of the development process. Like every developer I write a recommendation for, Jaap is truly an inspiration. His ability to understand the flow of code and articulate it with clarity is nothing short of jaw-dropping. During our time at ASICS, he tackled the monumental task of consolidating the functionality of several separate tools and flows into a single cohesive system—essentially like building a plane while falling off a cliff. On top of being an outstanding developer, Jaap has an incredible sense of humor and a knack for lighting up any room he's in.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Jaap on multiple projects for our client ASICS, mediated through my company, The Polymath Group. Jaap is, without a doubt, one of the smartest and most gifted developers I’ve ever worked with. He consistently delivered software solutions of the highest standards, taking full ownership and ensuring every detail was perfect. Jaap thrives when given freedom and responsibility, and his ability to think critically and innovate is unmatched. Beyond his technical brilliance, Jaap is a genuinely funny and engaging colleague. His sharp wit and great sense of humor made working together an absolute joy. If you're looking for someone who combines exceptional technical skills with an amazing personality, Jaap is your guy. Highly recommended!

Jaap heeft een aantal jaar bij ons gewerkt. Ik heb hem leren kennen als een zeer intelligente en vindingrijke developer met een gezonde dosis humor.

Jaap is a brilliant developer who I've thoroughly enjoyed working with both as a professional and as a person. His communication skills working within a global organisation are truly impressive. Jaap has proven ability to understand complex business requirements and transform it into clean code with excellent UI/UX across multiple projects. Most recently he was instrumental in delivering a major project in our Japanese market. It came with many moving parts and understanding requirements that had to be translated from Japanese to English which Jaap appeared to navigate with ease. Certainly, with Jaap's contributions and strong stakeholder management it made the project the success it is today. All the best in your future career and I genuinely hope to work with you again!

Jaap has been one of the best web developers I have worked with. Super intelligent and creative and he develops for future stability and maintenance. Very complex matters were solved quickly and together we were creative in finding alternative solutions for problems in order to try to keep things simple. Jaap is very approachable and easily reachable and mostly also super funny and a good team player. I will work with Jaap any time to get things done.

Jaap is an exceptionally talented developer, and I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him. His software development skills are unparalleled. He is truly an invaluable asset to any business or team.

The best compliment I can pay to a freelancer is that I'd be confident introducing them to any of my clients, and this is the case with Jaap. Speaking with Jaap is always a pleasure, he's always got time for a call and is always open, transparent, and honest about what he can and can't do. And fortunately, what he can do, he does very well. I look forward to working with Jaap on many future projects.
