Hello world!
Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing!
Hi, I am Jens, a German, living in Portugal. I am a Javascript-Expert and highly experienced in several buzzword-items like Scrum, bla and bla. But what you will love me even more for are my soft skills (and my humour).
15 years of specialisation
no frontend without those two buddys!
Is it still a thing?
I am highly empathic and can directly see in your soul!
As a longterm freelancer I can see the economic factor as well as the develepors passion and know how to combine them
I will find the smallest bug!

Hi, I am Jens Arps.
I was born and raised in Germany and after studing several things at university while being self-employed as a PHP-Developer, I felt in love with Javascript in 2003 – which is more than 20 years ago, while Javascript was mainly for building cooler contactforms.
After being hired from Uxebu, who has been one of *the* companies for Javascript in this time, I got in touch with the real cool Javascript-Nerds and became one of them, with developing the dojo-toolkit and being a speaker at the JS Conf in Berlin.
Back to freelancing in 2012 and being part of really cool projects, where I would love to tell the world what fancy and state of the art projects I made with my collegues – but one thing about fancy projects for big players is that you usually have to sign a contract of stillschweigen, so no chance to show off with this…
I love freelancing, but in April 2022 another company was interesting enough to get me on board on so I started working for adblock.
And with big changes comes more big changes, and so I left the german rain behind and Portugal. And I love it here!
And here comes the 2025 Update: I am back on the market!
