Hi, I'm Piet.

I've been in software development since I was 16, and I'm still active in the field today. Over the years, I've worn many hats: developer, team leader, coach, and project manager for both in-house and outsourced teams. I've even been the one feeding the developers (and not just pizza).

My key takeaway? The real magic happens when you have someone who understands both the business side and the development process. This person becomes a crucial bridge, offering 10x leverage on projects by ensuring the right solutions are built efficiently. Unfortunately, too few projects have such pivotal team members.

My goal is to help you become that bridge with the dev team, while navigating the many challenges of modern software development, both in-house and outsourced.
