As a Full Stack Developer at Lokalist (2021-2025), I helped build the most extensive local food delivery platform in the Netherlands, connecting food producers, retailers, and consumers through a modern ordering and logistics system.
Tech stack:
- Next.js with Capacitor & Ionic for iOS/Android apps
- Hasura & GraphQL for real-time data layer
- Advanced backend architecture supporting complex logistics workflows with Temporal
- Integration with retail and delivery operations
This was my first cross-platform experience, and it taught me that React Native with Expo provides a much smoother developer experience.
Achievements:
- Won the ABN AMRO bank award for best start-up in the retail industry (2021-2022)
- Nominated for best retail website of 2021 in the Netherlands
- Released Android and iOS apps in March 2022
Worked closely with operations and engineering teams on a platform serving food makers, farmers, retailers, and end consumers. The company ceased operations in 2025 due to market changes.
