About

Hi, I'm Erik a freelance software engineer from the Netherlands.

I'm passionate about solving business challenges with digital technology, pragmatically and efficiently. I match the right technology to the challenge: building custom web applications, integrating AI tools, or leveraging SaaS where it fits best to ship solutions that make a real impact.

I stay on top of AI developments and how they're changing software engineering and apply that knowledge in practice.
