Dirk M.

I help companies build, stabilize, and scale complex web platforms, from real-time SaaS applications to data-driven and AI-powered systems.

As a senior full-stack engineer, I take ownership of both front-end and back-end architecture, working with technologies such as TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, Python, and cloud platforms. I am particularly experienced in refactoring and improving existing systems, making them more reliable, maintainable, and performant.

I have worked on:

A large-scale assessment SaaS platform used in production (Volvo Cars Benelux)

An AI-powered data platform aggregating and enriching international datasets

Web platforms requiring GDPR compliance, SEO optimization, and analytics redesign

I also develop and integrate local AI models (LLMs), enabling advanced data processing while maintaining full control over infrastructure and privacy.

Beyond implementation, I collaborate closely with stakeholders to translate business needs into robust technical solutions.

I focus on writing clean, maintainable code and scalable architectures that remain reliable beyond the initial delivery.

My goal is not just to build features, but to create systems that are:

easy to understand and evolve

resilient in production

aligned with long-term business needs

My background combines software engineering with a Master of Science degree and experience in the cultural sector (editorial, writing, and management), which helps me bridge technical and non-technical perspectives.
