We've sat in your chair.

PXLS was founded in 2012 by Nathan Van Gierdegom in Ghent, Belgium. What started as frontend engineering work has evolved into a consultancy focused on the hardest problems in frontend: the ones that sit at the intersection of code, architecture, and people.

Over the years we've led modernizations for e-commerce platforms processing billions in revenue, built frontend practices from scratch for manufacturing giants, and rebuilt fintech trading platforms from the ground up. The common thread is always the same: a frontend that's holding the business back, and a team that needs both technical direction and someone willing to get their hands dirty.

We're not a staffing agency. We don't do body-shopping. We embed, we lead, and we leave teams in a better position than we found them.

We don't write reports from the sidelines. We join your team, work in your codebase, attend your standups, and ship code alongside your engineers. We operate as fractional technical leadership: the expertise of a senior hire without the six-month recruitment cycle.

Every engagement starts with understanding the real problem, not just the symptoms. Sometimes that means the first thing we do is tell you what you don't want to hear. If a migration isn't worth it, we'll say so. If the problem is the team structure and not the code, we'll address that instead.

The goal is always the same: leave the team and codebase in a state where they don't need us anymore.

Over a decade as a frontend lead and architect across industries: e-commerce, fintech, manufacturing, SaaS, and creative tooling. From hands-on development to leading 20-engineer teams and defining architectural strategy at the enterprise level. Based in Ghent, Belgium.

Clients include TVH Parts, Agfa Gevaert, Lynx Beleggen, Showpad, and Bricsys. The work has ranged from rescuing codebases in crisis to building entire frontend practices from the ground up.

Technical depth in TypeScript, React, Next.js, state management, design systems, performance optimization, and accessibility. Equally at home writing code, authoring ADRs, or presenting a modernization roadmap to a C-suite.
