PEPIJN VAN DER MEULEN · SOFTWARE & AI
I speak the language of your business and your developers. From a good conversation to smart software. Grounded in experience. Augmented by AI.
EXPERIENCE GAINED AT ORGANISATIONS INCLUDING
Career experience, not endorsements or partnerships.
01 / WHERE I MAKE A DIFFERENCE
A good idea deserves more than a technical answer. I help uncover the question behind the question — and help build the solution.
Originally in sales, with a degree in technical business administration. I ask questions, explain the options and connect your goals with what technology can deliver.
Sounding board · Analysis · AdviceArchitecture and implementation. I help existing software evolve and build new solutions. Drawing on years of experience with C#, .NET, APIs, Azure and SQL Server.
Software engineering · ArchitectureNot AI for show. AI to explore possibilities and approach development more effectively. With clear instructions, focused tasks and checks on the outcome.
AI-assisted development · Agent workflows
ONE PEPIJN. DIFFERENT HATS.
Sometimes a sounding board, sometimes an architect, developer or coach. I connect the conversation to the implementation. Bringing experience and a healthy sense of humour.
Serious about your software. Less serious about myself.
Explore my different roles02 / THE POSSIBILITIES OF AI. A HUMAN PERSPECTIVE.
I use AI extensively in my work at Topicus and KB360. A prompt is a starting point; a useful solution needs context, decisions and quality checks. That's where my software experience and practical mindset come together.
Start with the right question.What are you trying to achieve, what can AI do, and where is human judgement essential?
Focused agents, not a circus.Define tasks, provide relevant context and only work in parallel when it adds value.
A result needs to be checked.Validate code, content and behaviour. Including privacy, maintainability and costs.
PEPIJN.03 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE CODE
I started in sales. Then moved into software. I never lost that commercial instinct.
I enjoy a good conversation, a tough puzzle and a solution that works beyond the drawing board. I connect people and technology: ask questions, explain, decide together and get to work. Preferably with some humour. Complex software doesn't have to mean complicated collaboration.
I've worked in software since 1999, from financial systems to education and e-commerce. As a developer, architect and sometimes team lead. Broad enough to see the whole picture, practical enough to build it.
Four days employed at Topicus. One day freelancing at KB360. Considering working together? Let's have an honest conversation about scope and availability.
04 / HOW I WORK
Tell me what you're dealing with. I'll ask questions. Together we'll see whether my expertise is a good fit.
No vague promises. Clear choices, a defined approach and honest agreements on my involvement.
Practical steps, direct communication and visible work. With room to learn and adjust.
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.
A personal recommendation from my time at Wehkamp.
Combining humor, practicality, a fresh perspective with in-depth technical knowledge and wehkamp specifics, he was a great team player.
