Willem builds things.

Software, systems, and occasionally furniture (the furniture is worse).

24 years in tech. From flashing BIOS updates on a prayer to shipping AI-powered products — I've touched every layer of the stack, and most of them worked.

About

I started in 2002 at a computer repair shop — building PCs, fighting viruses, and convincing people that “the internet” wasn't broken, their cable was unplugged.

Since then I've administered servers at various companies, built financial switching systems processing millions of transactions, launched an airtime distribution platform across West Africa, and developed a certified prepaid electricity system.

These days I work with AI as a force multiplier. What used to take a team, I deliver solo — faster and leaner. I don't get attached to tools or titles. I find the problem, I build the solution.

What I do

Software Development

Apps, APIs, platforms. Flutter, Python, Next.js, and whatever gets the job done.

Cloud & Infrastructure

AWS serverless architecture, deployment pipelines, the boring stuff that keeps everything running.

Cyber Security

Vulnerability assessments, security audits, and making sure your business isn't the low-hanging fruit.

IT Consulting

Honest, practical tech advice without the enterprise markup.
