The journey

  1. Intro

    My name is Jilbert Ebrahimi, an Amsterdammer with Armenian roots. I've been hooked on computers and making things for as long as I can remember. Before we even had internet at home I was building 'websites' in Word with WordArt. They never went online, but in my head they were live.

    I studied Computer Science and Engineering with a track in IT Management, but most of what I use daily I taught myself: photography, Photoshop, WordPress, HTML and CSS, and later Vue/Nuxt.js, React/Next.js and headless setups. Lately I'm big on running A/B tests and digging through the results to see what actually works. I do my best work with people who challenge me and want to build the same thing.

  2. ATM

    BridgeFund

    Frontend Engineer at BridgeFund, a fintech that helps small and medium businesses get funding fast. Since April 2025 I build the customer-facing apps and internal tools around the lending journey: applications, onboarding and account dashboards, all in Next.js, React and TypeScript on a microservice platform. Day to day I work closely with product, design and backend to ship interfaces people can rely on.

  3. Previously

    Code

    Frontend Developer at Code, a Shopify agency. I built and maintained webshops for brands like Stoov and Burnhard, juggling multiple stores across countries, currencies and languages. Everything pixel-perfect, mobile-first and fast.

  4. From 08/21

    Key Agency

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

  5. From 02/'17

    Coolprofs

    Technical Consultant and OutSystems Developer at Coolprofs. I built custom web applications in mixed teams of Coolprofs and client developers, working SCRUM from scoping to shipping. OutSystems touches everything from database to UI, which gave me a broad base in web apps, servers and databases.

  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. As first point of contact I owned the partner and customer relationships: upselling, project planning and advising partners on their move to the cloud.
