Wim De Vriendt

Since 1995, I've been building software—from classic enterprise systems at Volvo Cars Ghent to AI integrations in .NET today. As an independent consultant (PureAutomation BV) and IT Manager at two Belgian companies (Fixsus, Emaze), I understand both the developer's and the client's perspectives.

Core Expertise:

• .NET/C#: ASP.NET Core, Blazor, .NET MAUI (cross-platform apps)

• Azure: Container Apps, Terraform, PostgreSQL Flexible Server, Azure DevOps

• Microsoft 365/Entra ID: Conditional Access, MFA, Intune management

• Security & NIS2: zero-trust, network segmentation (UniFi, VLANs)

• AI/LLM: RAG applications and chatbots via Microsoft Graph API

• Industrial automation: TwinCAT/ADS, Beckhoff PLC

• Frontend: React/Vite/TypeScript, evaluating SvelteKit/Next.js

Why work with me:

I prefer building custom solutions over SaaS subscriptions: full control, no vendor lock-in, lower TCO in the long run—unless an existing tool truly fits better, then I'll say so. 30 years of experience, but with the curiosity of a starter: from PLC networks to cloud architecture to AI agents, I oversee the entire stack.
