Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I help companies transform complex and time-consuming processes into reliable custom software. My focus is on Laravel/Vue applications, internal platforms, dashboards, API integrations, synchronization flows, and workflow automation.

What I enjoy most is replacing repetitive manual work with software that works faster, more securely, and more clearly. This often starts with a process that is partly in Excel, email, standalone tools, or manual checks. I help to refine that process, build a clear operational UI, and then work step-by-step towards automation that users can rely on.

My core stack includes Laravel, PHP, Vue 3, Inertia, Quasar, MySQL/PostgreSQL, queues, scheduled tasks, CI/CD, and server-side automation. I am particularly strong in projects with real business logic: external APIs, data processing, validation, reporting, legacy systems, and workflows where errors or delays directly cost money or time.

Examples of my work:

- A Laravel/Vue automation platform for work orders, forms/surveys, synchronization flows, AI-assisted checks, dashboards, and email feedback.

- DocuPages, a Laravel-based PDF/document publishing platform with 50+ active clients and over 1,000 active documents.

- A time-critical order webshop with iDEAL payments and API integration to a production system, used by hundreds of students without errors upon going live.

- Optimization of GitLab CI/CD workflows, test pipelines, code coverage, and deployment processes.

I enjoy contributing ideas as both a developer and an entrepreneur. Not just 'what needs to be built?', but primarily: what problem are we solving, what steps are truly necessary, and how do we ensure the solution remains maintainable after delivery?

DediqaTech LLC
Founder & Full-stack Software Engineer
SOFTWARE PUBLISHING
October 2023 - Today (2 years and 9 months)
As the founder and full-stack software engineer at DediqaTech, I build custom software for companies that want to make processes more efficient, reliable, and less manual.

My focus is on Laravel/Vue applications, internal platforms, dashboards, API integrations, synchronization flows, document workflows, reporting, and automation of repetitive work. I help companies not only with building software but also with refining the actual process behind the request.

A significant example is a Laravel/Vue automation platform for work orders, forms/surveys, synchronizations, AI-assisted checks, dashboards, and email feedback. By first building a clear operational UI and then developing step-by-step with the client, it became visible how the process truly worked and where automation could be applied safely and reliably.

Additionally, I build and maintain DocuPages, a Laravel-based PDF/document publishing platform with over 50 active clients and more than 1,000 active documents.

My strength lies in combining technology with business insight: I translate messy or time-consuming processes into maintainable software that saves hours of manual work, reduces errors, and provides users with clear insight into what is happening.

Cell[0] - Web & App development
Co-owner, Software Engineer
SOFTWARE PUBLISHING
May 2022 - January 2023 (8 months)
Co-owner and software engineer at Cell[0], a small software company in Eindhoven focused on web and app development.

Most of my work was for GroSens, an international agritech/IoT platform by Grodan, part of ROCKWOOL. This platform processes large amounts of sensor data from greenhouse horticulture companies, where sensors in rockwool mats continuously send measurement data that needs to be stored, processed, visualized, and made usable for growers.

I worked on extending and maintaining the existing Laravel/Vue platform, improving features, fixing bugs, working with PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB data, and building practical tooling around large amounts of measurement data.

Additionally, I improved the GitLab CI/CD workflows by making pipelines faster, using more parallel jobs, enhancing feedback from tests, and making code coverage and quality more visible in merge requests.
This role strengthened my experience in Laravel, Vue, data-intensive applications, CI/CD, and building software around real operational processes.

January 2022 - April 2022 (3 months)
Freelance Laravel/Vue developer, hired through Cell[0] to help build a web application for GroSens, an international agritech platform that processes and visualizes measurement data from sensors in greenhouse horticulture.

The application collected data from special hardware at clients and made this data available through a central platform. My work involved extending existing functionality, resolving issues, improving frontend/backend flows, and supporting the stability of an already active application.

The stack included Laravel/PHP, Vue, Quasar, PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB, and GitLab CI/CD, among others. I also assisted in improving the development workflow by optimizing CI/CD pipelines, test feedback, and merge request quality checks.

This freelance assignment later evolved into my role as co-owner/software engineer at Cell[0].
