01 / What I bringThink clearly. Build deliberately.

Clear direction.
A wider field of view.

01

Engineering teams, given direction.

Development management that sets the course. Turn a knotty brief into a clear plan, make the difficult trade-offs, and grow teams that deliver.

  • Team leadership
  • Hiring & mentoring
  • Delivery
  • Engineering standards
  • Code-review practice
  • Career paths
02

The whole system, in focus.

Technical advisory on architecture, integrations and modernisation. Make sense of what is there, find the right boundaries, and chart a practical path forward.

  • Microservices
  • RabbitMQ
  • Azure Service Bus
  • SQS
  • Redis
  • Azure
  • AWS
  • Docker
  • Terraform
03

AI that does real work.

Agentic development and LLM integration, put to work on real products. Agents draft and review the code; people own every review, security and release gate.

  • Agentic development
  • LLM integration
  • Azure DevOps
  • GitHub Actions
04

Grounded in real code.

More than fifteen years of hands-on .NET and web engineering. The direction I give comes from software I have built myself.

  • C#
  • .NET 8
  • ASP.NET Core
  • Blazor
  • Entity Framework
  • TypeScript
  • Angular
  • SvelteKit
  • SQL Server

04 / The person, not just the stackAlways a work in progress.

Engineer by trade.
Curious by default.

I like the point where
“what if” becomes “it works”.

My career has taken me from developer to engineering manager at Sage, and now to a Dutch compliance platform. I've been the developer deep in the details and the lead responsible for the bigger picture.

Today I do my best work giving direction. Set a clear course. Ask the awkward question early. Help the people around me do better work. Leave a system easier to understand than I found it.

I also founded Sörg Solutions, a software company with a portfolio of products. Leading it keeps me hands-on, and honest about what it takes to turn an idea into working software.

Got a good
hard problem?

Tell me what you're working on. What is getting in the way. Where another good mind could help.

A rough idea is a perfectly good brief.
