Work with me

I'm a freelance engineering leader who helps software teams with improving their daily work. Unlike my competitors, I don't focus on culture, but on achieving early wins quickly, and through that, building a better place to work.

What I do

I build effective software engineering teams. I can help your company if you have a starting team that needs help building their processes, or an existing team that has grown beyond its current capabilities and started slowing down. Or similar scenarios like creating a more reliable delivery of value.

I'm happy to write some code -- still do it as a hobby! -- and can build solid systems, but it's not the primary point of leverage: I do most of my work through people. Understanding engineer's needs & goals, aligning teams and individuals to business goals, and guiding & coaching.

I've helped various organisations in the past including:

• IN10: a creative digital agency
• VCSW: a Dutch startup, saving businesses money on employment taxes
• Ridder: a large horticulture technology company
• Delft Solutions: a tiny speciality software supplier

What I need from you

• Building software is part of your core business.
• You employ 2+ teams of software engineers, usually 10+ people.
• You either operate fully remote or are located close enough to Delft, the Netherlands, so I can go in to your offices regularly.
• You are not building a cryptocurrency- or gambling-related product.
