Hi there!

I’m the website of Bran van der Meer, software craftsman and builder of the web, living in Rotterdam, Netherlands. I tend to make use of the nickname branneman around the web, if you come across it, that might be me.

I also have a YouTube channel, where I create content for software engineers, sometimes focused on frontend developers. I'll also talk about behavioural skills, soft skills, career development and a lot of other topics which are not language/framework/typing-code topics: youtube.com/@branvandermeer
