Why Dutch companies work with a nearshore developer
The Dutch tech market is competitive and senior developers are hard to hire. Working with a nearshore freelance developer gives you senior capacity without a long recruitment process — and with English as the working language, there is no communication barrier.
Because Turkey is only one to two hours ahead, stand-ups, reviews and releases fit into your normal working day.
Multi-language products, including Dutch
pdksPro, a multi-tenant HR and attendance SaaS I built, runs in Turkish, English, German and Dutch — including the login screen, menus, payslips and currency formatting. Every new module ships with all four languages at once. The same discipline applies to apps and platforms I build for Dutch clients.
Typical projects for Dutch businesses
MVPs for startups (iOS/Android app + backend), SaaS platforms, internal tools and dashboards, e-commerce and logistics integrations, and API connections between existing systems such as webshops, ERP and accounting software.
Why Dutch businesses work with me
One accountable developer
You talk to the person who writes the code. No account managers, no hand-offs between sales and a hidden offshore team.
Full stack, end to end
iOS & Android apps, web platforms, backends, APIs, ERP modules and hardware/IoT — designed, built, deployed and maintained by the same engineer.
Staged delivery
Work is split into milestones you can test. You approve each stage before the next one starts, so budget and scope stay under control.
Source code ownership
The code, repositories and accounts are yours. Documentation and handover are part of the job, not an extra.
Async-friendly communication
Written updates in English, a shared task list, and short video calls when a decision needs to be made together.
Long-term maintenance
18 years in the field means many systems I built are still running years later. Post-launch support is planned from day one.

Frequently asked questions
What is the time difference between the Netherlands and Turkey?
Turkey is on UTC+3 all year. The Netherlands is UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer, so Turkey is 2 hours ahead in winter and 1 hour ahead in summer.
Can you deliver software in Dutch?
Yes. Multi-language support is built in from the start; pdksPro, for example, runs fully in Dutch, English, German and Turkish.
Do you work in English?
Yes. All communication, documentation and code comments are in English.
Can you build an MVP for a Dutch startup?
Yes. A typical MVP is an iOS/Android app with a web admin and API, delivered in stages so you can test with real users early.
How do you handle GDPR?
Data minimisation, role-based access, encryption in transit, audit logs and export/deletion of personal data. Hosting can be in EU data centres.
