Business-minded engineering approach
Fast to understand.
Faster to deliver.
I help companies design, build, and improve software products that deliver real business value. With expertise across cloud, backend, frontend, architecture, and product development, I bridge the gap between business goals and technical execution.

Whether you need a lone wolf or an embedded team player, I adapt to the role you actually need filled
The questions everyone wants to ask
If you have one I haven’t covered, just send me an email.
Can you help with AI projects?
Yes. From AI-powered features and integrations to proof-of-concepts and architecture decisions, I can help translate AI opportunities into practical solutions.
Do you only write code?
No. I also contribute to architecture, technical strategy, product discussions, backlog refinement, and stakeholder communication.
What do you do outside of software development?
I volunteer as a First Aid Responder for the Dutch Red Cross. It reminds me that some incidents are more important than failed deployments.
What's the connection between your volunteering work and software engineering?
Both involve assessing situations quickly, identifying root causes, following procedures, and staying calm when others aren’t.
What's your preferred way of working?
Close collaboration, clear communication, pragmatic decisions, and delivering value early and often.
Can you explain technical topics to non-technical stakeholders?
Absolutely. A large part of engineering is translating complexity into understandable business decisions.
What's your availability and rate?
Let’s talk. Availability depends on current commitments, and rates depend on scope, duration, and what the work actually involves. Drop me a message and we’ll figure it out together.
