Trevor de Koekkoek

Professional Summary

Front-End Architect focused on building scalable, well-structured Angular applications with a strong eye for user experience. Deep expertise in modern state management (NgRx SignalStore, Signals, RxJS) and modular architecture patterns, with a performance-conscious approach (OnPush, zoneless rendering, Apollo query optimization) that supports — not overshadows — clean design and usability. Architected enterprise mapping platforms, trading systems, custom low-code systems, and full-stack SSR applications, with an increasingly AI-driven development workflow using Claude Code — orchestrating context, architecture, and implementation rather than just generating code.

Professional Experience

Sopra Steria | Software Architect

July 2024 – Present

Architected and developed a performance-critical enterprise mapping application for Kadaster, applying modern Angular optimization techniques and signal-based state management to deliver a fast, responsive user experience.

  • Designed and implemented modular front-end architecture using Angular 20 with OnPush change detection throughout, minimizing unnecessary re-renders across the mapping interface
  • Introduced NgRx SignalStore as the state management foundation, leveraging stored signal state to eliminate redundant network calls and ensure fine-grained, performant reactivity
  • Built custom, reusable components leveraging Angular CDK and OpenLayers for complex mapping interactions
  • Adopted zoneless Angular with Signals, removing Zone.js overhead and enabling fully declarative, high-performance rendering across the application
  • Mentored development team on modern Angular patterns, SCSS architecture, and component-driven development

Technologies: Angular 20, NgRx SignalStore, Angular CDK, OpenLayers, GGC, SCSS, TypeScript

gigawhat.live | Product Founder & Architect

August 2024 – Present

Designed and built a full-stack music venue discovery platform from concept to production, with a strong focus on front-end performance including SSR, lazy loading, Apollo caching, and bundle optimization.

  • Architected complete Angular SSR application with lazy-loaded feature modules, route-level code splitting, and preload strategies to optimize initial load time and time-to-content
  • Integrated Google Places API, Mapbox API, and Google Mapping API for venue discovery and geolocation
  • Optimized GraphQL data layer using Apollo InMemoryCache and precise query field selection, reducing over-fetching and eliminating redundant network requests
  • Integrated Claude API for AI-powered content generation and database automation
