Bertijn Pauwels
Hello! I'm a frontend developer with a passion for technology. Recently, I've started exploring mobile app development and delving into the fascinating world of AI. Currently, I'm living in Korea, immersing myself in the rich culture while working as an English teacher for children.
Experience
My Professional Journey
I started as a junior frontend engineer right after college, working with various technologies like Angular, Vue, and React. I had the opportunity to participate in multiple trainings, including security, accessibility, and design. As I transitioned to a more senior role, my responsibilities increased significantly; I began making key decisions in projects, attending job fairs, conducting technical interviews for prospective hires, and mentoring new colleagues during their initial weeks at the company. This journey eventually led me to South Korea, where I am now working as an English teacher for children.
July 2018 - August 2018
Internship and Holiday Opportunities at Elimity
During my internship, I had the opportunity to work at the startup Elimity, which helps companies visualize their access management through a comprehensive dashboard. I was responsible for migrating the old AngularJS project to the latest version of Angular. After graduation, I was able to continue my work there as a holiday job.
September 2018 - May 2019
Initial Project for Amexio: Mediafin
I began my professional journey as a frontend consultant with Amplexor, now known as Amexio. My first project involved Mediafin, the agency responsible for Belgium's leading financial newspapers. I focused on maintaining and enhancing the newspaper websites, utilizing Adobe Experience Manager and React for development.
June 2019 - April 2021
Switch to the Argenta Project
I transitioned to the Argenta project, another Adobe Experience Manager initiative for one of Belgium's largest banks. I developed React simulations and collaborated closely with the app development team, as a significant design system was involved.
April 2021 - April 2022
New heading for the German Pyur project
This project involved an Adobe Experience Manager website for one of Germany's largest Internet Service Providers, Pyur. It marked my first professional experience with VueJS, where I developed the website's frontend and ensured that several mini applications integrated seamlessly with shared state.
April 2022 - April 2025
Revisiting the Mediafin Project
Amplexor has undergone significant changes, having been acquired by Acolad Digital and subsequently merging with Amexio. I returned to the Mediafin website, now with enhanced leadership, overseeing the migration to Google Ad Manager, implementing custom video players, and more.
April 2025 - now
Relocating to South Korea
I made the decision to relocate to South Korea, driven by my appreciation for the culture and my relationship with my girlfriend. Unfortunately, remote work with Amexio was not an option; however, while coaching new colleagues, I discovered another passion of mine: education. As a result, I am currently employed as an part-time English teacher for children at PRM Kinder.
