What I Do

I step in when you need senior technical leadership but aren't ready for a permanent hire. That can mean architecting a platform, designing a migration under a tight deadline, or setting up capabilities your organization doesn't have yet. In each case I build foundations your teams can keep running after I leave. Here's what that usually looks like.

Architecture & Platform Design

Project-based or daily rate

For when your legacy system blocks growth, or you need to build something new without risking the business on a big-bang launch. I design the technical solution and the migration approach, evaluate the trade-offs with your team, and guide implementation so the result matches the design.

What You Get

  • Architecture decision records (ADRs)
  • System design documentation
  • Migration strategy and roadmap
  • Technology evaluation and recommendations

Engagement Format

Usually starts with 2-4 weeks of full-time architecture work, followed by involvement during implementation as needed.

Technical Leadership & Team Building

Retainer or daily rate

For when your teams need guidance on difficult problems, you're setting up engineering practices, or you need help with technical hiring. I join your team, review code, set architecture direction, coach developers, and help set up practices your teams can maintain themselves.

What You Get

  • Technical strategy and roadmap
  • Code review and quality standards
  • Developer coaching and mentoring
  • Technical hiring support

Engagement Format

Embedded 2-4 days per week. I recommend at least 3 months.

Developer Tooling & Practices

Project-based or retainer

For when your teams lack modern development practices, or the tools they built themselves have become hard to maintain. I build CI/CD pipelines, development libraries, and CLI tools, introduce workflows and automation, then coach your teams to maintain all of it themselves.

What You Get

  • CI/CD pipeline design and implementation
  • Development libraries and templates
  • CLI tooling and automation
  • Documentation and onboarding

Engagement Format

A 4-8 week project, or ongoing as your needs change.

How I Work

Understand first, then build. Before designing anything, I make sure I understand the business problem, the constraints, and the goals.

Build capability, not dependency. The tools and practices I introduce become yours. I coach your teams to maintain them themselves.

Direct and honest. I’d rather have a difficult conversation early than let problems compound. That means challenging assumptions and pointing out blind spots.

Working Together

I work with organizations in the Netherlands, on-site or hybrid. For the right fit, I also take on remote work with teams elsewhere in Europe.

If you’re unsure what you need, get in touch. The right approach is often clear after one conversation about your situation.

Not sure which service fits your needs?

Let's talk. I can assess your situation and recommend an approach that fits your organization.
