Hi, I am Ulla van Sprang

I am Ulla, a front-end developer based in Amsterdam. My professional journey has taken me from the world of medicine to the exciting world of web development. In 2021, I decided to follow my heart and dive headfirst into coding. The appeal of the coding community ignited my eagerness to learn and develop in this new field. Since then, I've been on a dedicated path of self-improvement, improving my skills through various online courses.

Colleagues and friends often characterize me as a dependable, detail-oriented team player. I would describe myself as an avid learner, full of enthusiasm and sincerity. In my leisure time, I have a range of interests, including spending time with my dog Izzy, watching Netflix, playing video and board games, enjoying cocktails, listening to podcasts, learning Spanish, playing tennis and padel, following different sports, and exploring new places through travel.

As of October 2022, I began my professional journey as a front-end developer at a major telecommunications company. My core responsibilities include maintaining the webshop in close collaboration with a Scrum team, implementing new features and A/B tests, addressing technical debt with modern technologies, and migrating environments to ensure future-proof solutions. My technical toolkit includes React, TypeScript, and proficiency in testing with Jest, Playwright, and Cypress, as well as experience with GitLab CI/CD.
