IT that just works
Infrastructure, cloud and security managed properly — so you can focus on your business instead of your systems.

You don't need more technology. You need someone who knows which technology to trust.
I help businesses work smarter with IT and AI — saving time, reducing hassle, and making sure your systems actually work for you.

01 — What I do
How I can help
Most of my clients already know what's eating their time. I help them fix it.
AI & automation
Practical AI that saves real time. Process automation, document handling and workflows your team will actually use.
IT leadership
Interim management, team coaching, or stepping in when you need someone who speaks both boardroom and server room.
Honest advice
An independent second opinion on proposals, vendors and decisions. I'll tell you what I'd do if it were my money.
Hands-on work
Sometimes you just need experienced hands. Implementation, support, or filling a gap on your team — remote or onsite.
Process & documentation
Understanding how your team works, finding the bottlenecks, and writing processes that survive staff changes.
02 — Method
How I work
I start by understanding your business, not by selling you a solution.
Listen
We talk. What's working, what isn't, and where your time goes. No pitch, no slides — a real conversation.
Assess
I look at what you have and find where improvement makes the biggest difference. You usually know the pain points — I confirm them and find the fixes.
Act
Hands-on work, guidance for your team, or strategic advice — solutions that fit your organisation, budget and timeline.
Support
I make sure your team can maintain what we built. And I'm there when you need me — no long contracts, no lock-in.
03 — Who you're working with
Bastiaan
I'm an independent IT advisor based in the Netherlands. For 30 years I've helped organisations save time and work more efficiently — through better IT systems, smarter use of AI, and sometimes just rolling up my sleeves and doing the work.
I'm comfortable in a management meeting in the morning and troubleshooting infrastructure in the afternoon. That range — between strategy and hands-on — is what makes the difference for my clients.
