Ownership, powered by Solana

Alongside the regular app stores, I am exploring blockchain-first editions of my apps on Solana. Shuvvle is already live in the Solana dApp Store, and a Solana edition of GeoChopper is on the drawing board. The idea is simple: skins, cosmetics and collectibles should belong to the player, not to the platform. On-chain items can be kept, traded or carried along, even outside the game.

Building on Solana also lets me plug directly into the DeFi economy for in-app purchases. Payments settle on-chain between player and studio, with no middleman and no app store commissions. That means better value for players and a healthier model for independent studios.

Hans Hoeijmakers, founder of SynapSys Software

From Big Tech to Independent

After more than two decades in software engineering, including seven years in the US working in big tech, I returned home to the Netherlands with a new mission: to build software that matters. SynapSys Software is the result of that journey.

An unusual mix

My background is broader than most: alongside consumer software at big-tech scale, I have spent years working with hardware and semiconductor companies, automating their production lines and internal processes. That mix of consumer polish on one side and industrial rigor on the other shapes everything I build.

Experience, amplified by AI

Today I work from a continuously evolving balance between 20+ years of engineering experience and the productivity that modern AI tooling unlocks. Experience decides what is worth building and what good looks like; AI shrinks the distance between idea and product.

I am available for freelance opportunities and partnerships, from product engineering to industrial automation. Feel free to reach out.

Pragmatic Engineering

More than two decades in the industry taught me to pick the right tool for the job, and to value stability and user experience over hype. That spans consumer apps, cloud backends, industrial systems and AI: whatever the problem calls for.

Product Engineering

End-to-end delivery of consumer software: cross-platform mobile apps and games, web frontends, and the scalable cloud backends behind them, from first concept all the way to go-live.

Industrial Automation

Automation for hardware and semiconductor companies: production-line software, test and measurement systems, data pipelines and internal tooling that removes manual work and scales with the factory.

AI-Accelerated Delivery

LLM-powered features inside products, and an AI-augmented way of working that pairs senior engineering judgment with today's fastest tooling: more shipped, at higher quality, in less time.

What drives me

To empower people through intuitive digital experiences that merge the joy of play with genuine cognitive growth, and to help ambitious teams build software that lasts

Engineering Excellence

Leveraging two decades of expertise to build lean, secure, and high-performance software.

Purposeful Growth

Designing products that challenge the mind and provide lasting value beyond the screen.

Radical Simplicity

Complex technology should feel effortless, whether it's a game anyone can pick up or an automated production line an operator can trust.

Let's Build Something Together

I am open to freelance opportunities and partnerships: automating business processes of any kind, or teaming up to build the next big consumer app or SaaS product. Let's talk.
