About Me
Hi! I'm Rick van Baalen, a passionate freelance software developer specializing in Java, PHP, and Flutter. With a knack for turning complex problems into elegant solutions, I thrive on crafting robust, scalable, and user-friendly applications that make a difference.
Over the years, I've honed my skills in developing everything from dynamic web applications and seamless APIs to visually stunning and highly performant mobile apps. Whether you're looking to bring your ideas to life or enhance your existing projects, I'm here to help.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring the latest tech trends, brainstorming innovative solutions, or diving into creative projects that push the boundaries of what's possible.

What I Do
Testimonials
Rick revamped our website with rock-solid results. I am very satisfied with the communication, the input and his unbridled patience. Rick is also good at switching gears because it is not easy when first my colleague is the contact person and then I take over (with other wishes). We are proud of the end result. As an extra plus, he integrated a webshop into our site. We will definitely use his talents, customer focus and expertise again in the future.
I got in touch with Rick and certainly did not regret it. Someone who listens well and senses what is needed, who is open to ideas and wishes in order to incorporate them into an overall picture. He responds quickly and thinks along with you. I would definitely recommend him!
