I'm Bob. A senior developer who likes to understand the whole system — and the people building it.
C# and .NET at the core. Leaning into software architecture and technical team leadership.

01 / Where I focus
From the detail
to the whole system.
My centre of gravity is development. Architecture and leadership are how I want to extend that contribution.
Architecture minded
Leaning into software and solution architecture: understanding boundaries, connections and trade-offs while staying close to implementation.
The wider perspectiveTeam oriented
Growing toward technical team leadership, with an emphasis on shared understanding, constructive discussion and clear direction.

Real-world context.
Connect4Shore & the maritime sector
My professional background includes Connect4Shore and the PLAQUA platform: digital services for the maritime sector, connecting harbour facilities, users and payments.
It's a context where software is part of a much larger system, and where understanding that system matters.

03 / A little about me
Hi, I'm Bob.
I'm a Netherlands-based software professional with a background in developing Microsoft .NET solutions in C#. I enjoy the point where the details of the code meet the bigger questions about how a system should work.
I'm still a developer first. My next steps lean toward software and solution architecture, and toward helping a team find its direction together.
Good software starts with understanding what needs to work.
04 / Notes from practice
Thinking out loud.
A fresh start. With a lesson attached.
My website disappeared after an accidental deletion. Rebuilding it is a good moment to think about what belongs here.

05 / Let's connect
Good work starts
with a conversation.
About software, architecture, or the people building it.
