After a great run in the contractor world, I’m officially looking to settle down and return to a full-time role here in the Netherlands.
We briefly toyed with the idea of opening our own marketing agency. But honestly, building a business where the main competitive advantage is price-dumping and milking old connections from a past life just doesn’t spark joy.
So, I’m choosing marriage. For love, and for the long haul.
To be completely honest, I’m seriously considering a pivot back to developer roles. After the abstract chaos of the last few years, the idea of a hard-skill-driven, project-focused environment sounds like honey.
Who I’m looking to tie the knot with:
- A great company with real international ambitions.
- A team where English is the primary language of communication.
- A business with absolutely zero Russian capital.
What I bring to the relationship (The Dowry):
- The Marketing chops: I can build, scale, and manage just about everything in digital marketing. (Full disclosure: pure execution in performance marketing might bore me eventually… although I hear the bonuses in that sector are pretty great, so who knows?)
- The MarTech stack: I grew up in the PHP paradigm and remember everything right up to the point where Laravel became best friends with React and Vue (I somehow completely ignored Svelte) or Headless WordPress times. But these days, I’m very comfortable spinning up Next.js and Tailwind CSS, using Python and Vanilla JS for everyday problem-solving, and integrating AI into workflows.
- The Adaptability: I know how things work under the hood. And let’s be real – with Cursor and Claude by my side, my learning curve for new tech has shrunk to an indecently short effort.
Long story short: if we’ve worked together in the past, or if you know a great team looking for a strategic marketing mind who actually understands the tech, drop me a line or pass my name along.
The wedding party is on me!
