Pieter-Jan Scheir

Full-stack developer

Building modern web applications and AI-driven solutions with a practical, long-term mindset.

About

I build modern web applications and AI-driven solutions with a strong emphasis on React, Next.js, and TypeScript.

I work daily with AI tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, combining them with solid engineering and UX judgment to build sustainable, performant, and secure applications.

Certifications include “Claude 101”, “Claude Code in Action” and “AI Fluency: Framework & Foundations” (Anthropic Education), plus Udemy courses (2022) on JavaScript, Clean Code, CSS, Next.js & React, and Docker & Kubernetes (Academind).

I shoot both film and digital; other interests include AI and emerging tech, economics and current affairs, travel, road cycling, and learning languages. That creative side feeds how I think about visuals and interfaces.
