Turning Complex Code into Actionable Knowledge

I am Stephan Nijman, a Software Engineer and Technical SEO Expert based in the Netherlands. I sit at the intersection of development and growth, combining formal creative training with over 20 years of hands-on technical experience. My passion is to deconstruct complex technologies into scalable digital solutions and educational insights that give others the tools to build a better web.

What I Do: Engineering & Education

I spend my time building high-performance digital ecosystems and sharing those findings with the developer community. My expertise includes:

  • Custom Development: Engineering bespoke WordPress themes and robust Laravel applications.
  • Technical SEO: Architecting websites for AI-driven search, focusing on entity authority and advanced JSON-LD integration.
  • Educational Content: I am an content creator, producing tutorials and technical discussions on my YouTube channel and blog, specifically designed for developers.

My Approach: Strategy First

I believe every line of code should serve a strategic purpose. Whether I am integrating a technical stack with HubSpot or auditing a site for Search Generative Experience (SGE), I prioritize the “Why” before the “How.” This philosophy carries over into my educational content, where I focus on translating emerging tech into measurable business growth.

Beyond the Terminal

When I’m not in a code editor or recording tutorials, I’m a father and a dedicated film enthusiast. I have a deep obsession with visual effects and the technical craft behind filmmaking. An interest that fuels my constant curiosity about how things are built behind the scenes.
