About Niels Rigter

I'm Niels Rigter, a freelance Next.js developer. I help companies build, improve, and maintain fast web applications, with a focus on clear architecture, usability, and code that keeps working.

Who I am

I am Niels Rigter, a Dutch freelance full-stack developer focused on Next.js and modern web platforms. I work on products where usability, engineering and scalability come together.

My focus is clear: freelance Next.js developer for modern web applications. I build SaaS products, portals and internal tools that need to stay fast, secure and maintainable. Products teams actually run on.

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.

Approach
