Utrecht
Direct-to-Dev, by design.
For a Utrecht product team extending a platform, building a partner integration, or launching an internal tool, one senior freelance engineer is often the most efficient way to add capacity: short communication lines, a single point of accountability, and no coordination cost between separate teams.
The agency route
Communication runs through an account manager, project manager, and delivery team.
A scoped discovery phase typically precedes implementation by several weeks.
The engineer writing the code is usually not the person you briefed.
Change requests pass between multiple roles before reaching the developer.
