Niels Rigter

Freelance Next.js Developer

  • Available independently
  • Remote or hybrid
  • Direct communication
  • Experience with complete product development
  • Available for projects and temporary reinforcement

Technology only matters when it solves a real problem.

I am Niels Rigter, a Dutch freelance full-stack developer with a strong focus on Next.js and modern web platforms. I enjoy working on products where usability, engineering and scalability come together.

I think beyond isolated features. Architecture, security, performance, deployment and future maintenance are part of my decisions. That is how I can take a product from concept to production independently, or contribute focused work within an existing team.
