Helping startups and scale-ups build scalable, maintainable backends and real-time apps with Go, Laravel & Vue
You, as a small business owner have too much to do already, let me help you with the technical challenges.
Unlike typical developers who force you to adapt to their systems, I design software that reflects how your business actually operates. No confusing jargon, no process overhauls - just efficient solutions using your existing language and workflows.
Recent Success Story: Transformed a client's Google indexing performance from 30,000 to 600,000 pages per week through strategic load balancer implementation and caching optimization - accelerating their full site indexing while maintaining stability.
I work alongside trusted CRO specialists and front-end developers, ensuring your project benefits from comprehensive expertise. Whether you need a complete solution or specific backend development, I coordinate the right team for optimal results.
Based in Groningen with a focus on small to medium-sized companies who value seeing real impact from their software investments.

I know you want to build software that's reliable, scalable, and actually helps your team move faster. To do that, you need a solid backend, a maintainable codebase, and tools that fit the way your business works.
The problem is that it's hard to focus on building a great product when you're stuck dealing with messy code, unreliable systems, or tools that don't quite fit. I believe you should be able to move fast without creating tech debt or bottlenecks.
I understand it's not always easy to ask for help with your architecture or internal tooling. That's why I guide you through my process and explain what I'm building—and why—every step of the way.
Here's how the process works: contact me to discuss your challenges, work with me to improve or build your backend systems, and ship faster with clean, scalable software that grows with your business.
So contact me and feel confident knowing your software is solid, your team is moving faster, and you're no longer fighting your tools.
Every business is different. Pick the option that works for your and your business.

Hi, I'm Roelof Jan! I'm a backend developer and business owner in Groningen and love growing websites and businesses. In the 9 years that I've been active as a software professional, I've learned a lot about starting and growing businesses. I've started a few myself: Plant care for Beginners, CRO-tool, Aloia CMS and several others.
I enjoy growing these projects as a business and I've seen success using my methods. I want to pass this success on to your projects, websites, and businesses to help you reach your goals.
