Amsterdam
Direct-to-Dev, by design.
For fast-moving Amsterdam SaaS companies, the time spent translating requirements between account managers, project managers, and developers often adds up more than the hourly rate itself. Working directly with one senior engineer keeps context in one place, tightens feedback loops, and makes estimates easier to trust.
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.
The Direct-to-Dev route
One senior engineer, accountable end-to-end.
Kickoff, architecture, and the first pull request within days — not sprints.
The person you brief is the person writing the code.
Async-first communication; live calls only when they move the work forward.
Solid back-ends. Modern front-ends. One accountable engineer.
The stack is chosen per workload, not per résumé. No technical debt shipped as a feature.
Back-end
C#
Typed, enterprise-ready APIs on .NET.

On-site when it matters. Async the rest of the time.
Based within commuting distance of the Zuidas and Amsterdam-Noord tech corridors, on-site pairing, architecture reviews, or standing in for your in-house lead are easy to arrange. You get the flexibility of a freelancer with the availability of a co-located hire — without the long-term contract overhead.
