Jilbert

  1. Intro

    My name is Jilbert Ebrahimi, an Amsterdammer with Armenian roots and a lifelong fascination with IT and creativity. Long before the internet was everywhere, I was building 'websites' in Word with WordArt — rudimentary, but the start of it all.

    I have a background in Computer Science and Engineering, with a track in IT Management, and I'm largely self-taught too: photography, Photoshop, WordPress, HTML and CSS, and these days Vue/Nuxt.js, React/Next.js and headless setups. I'm driven by curiosity and the urge to craft captivating websites — and I love setting up experiments (A/B tests) and digging into the results to see what actually works. Ideally alongside people who challenge me and share the same goal.

  2. ATM

    BridgeFund

    Frontend Engineer at BridgeFund, a fintech lender for small and medium-sized businesses. Since April 2025 I've been building the customer-facing apps and internal tools behind the lending journey — applications, onboarding and account dashboards — in a Next.js, React and TypeScript stack on a microservice platform. I care about accessible, reliable interfaces and working closely with product, design and backend.

  3. Previously

    Code

    Frontend Developer at Code, a Shopify and digital agency. I built and maintained e-commerce sites for brands like Stoov and Burnhard — multiple shops across countries, currencies and languages — delivering pixel-perfect, mobile-first work with a focus on performance and coding standards.

  4. From 08/21

    Key Agency

    Frontend Developer at Key Agency, a digital bureau. I built sites from scratch — mostly WordPress, plus headless setups with Strapi and front-ends in Vue. In a small team the front/back-end line blurs, so I also handled databases, deployments and plenty of PHP.

  5. From 02/'17

    Coolprofs

    Technical Consultant and OutSystems Developer at Coolprofs, building custom web applications with mixed teams of Coolprofs and client developers. Working in SCRUM, we scoped, planned and shipped — and I picked up broad knowledge of web apps, servers and databases on OutSystems' rapid-development platform.

  6. From 10/'12

    SaaSplaza

    At SaaSplaza, a cloud provider focused on Microsoft Dynamics and B2B, I helped launch a new end-customer business model. I owned partner and end-customer relationships as their first point of contact — handling upselling, project planning and advising partners on their move to the cloud.
