Code that holds up. Architecture that scales.

Jaap van Rooijen

I'm a dedicated consultant specialising in enterprise .NET development and Microsoft cloud solutions. Over 8+ years I've delivered projects ranging from APIs to full cloud migrations, always with a clear focus on long-term maintainability.

My approach is pragmatic: I combine my technical knowledge with a understanding of what makes software valuable for a business. Clean architecture, proper testing, solid CI/CD.

Based in the Netherlands, working with clients across industries including Logistics, Automotive, Audio & Video conference, SaaS and PaaS.
