About me

Hi, I’m Joris, a Senior Developer and Creative Technologist based in New Plymouth, Aotearoa New Zealand. I am a results driven frontend engineer who enjoys the mix of creativity and clear process. My work sits somewhere between UX, design, and engineering. I enjoy collaborating across disciplines, understanding the people behind a brief, and building interactive experiences that feel delightful and purposeful. I have been doing this for more than 20 years across brand sites, interactive installations, and product driven web applications.

I am currently moving pixels at Gladeye, where I work across National Geographic projects, accessible museum experiences, internal tooling, and cross team collaboration.
