Bernard van der Wees
🏠 BerlinConsultant + Fullstack Engineer + Product Management
Über mich
As a creative and entrepreneurial person, I like to manage and implement projects to create the best user experience. I gained a MSc in Business Information Technology and I have more than 10 years of experience in user and requirements analysis, technical product management and modern web development.
Since I was 12 years old, I have been coding frequently. I can write code in many different languages and frameworks, with a focus on creating a usable end result as well as clean documented code. Aside from my freelance work, I also work on my own projects. I am interested in languages and am both written and spoken fluent in English, German and Dutch. I also speak Spanish.
