Senior backend engineering, on your terms

Sinmux is the independent practice of a senior software engineer based in the Netherlands.

Sinmux is the backend engineering practice of a senior software engineer based in the Netherlands. The focus is simple: design and build server-side systems that are correct, observable and fast, and that keep working under real-world load.

After years building and operating production backends, I now take on contract, project and freelance work for teams that need an experienced pair of hands on the hard parts: API design, data modelling, performance, and cloud infrastructure.

Pragmatic, communicative and outcome-driven. I plug into your team or run a piece of work independently, whatever fits.

How I work

Outcome-driven

I optimise for working software and business results, not ceremony or resume-driven tech choices.

Communicative

Clear written updates, honest estimates, and early flags when something looks risky.

Pragmatic

The simplest design that meets the requirement and can evolve, documented so the team can own it.

Quality-minded

Tested, observable, secure-by-default code that holds up under real production load.
