Summary
Derk Jochems is a hands-on software and hardware developer with 13 years of experience building desktop, mobile and web applications alongside DIY electronics and automation systems. As owner of DutchHype and co-owner of 3DiY, he combines product development, servers, apps and physical automation to deliver turnkey solutions like autonomous escape rooms and reservation-to-control platforms. Trained as a mechanical operator (VAPRO A/B), he blends practical mechanical and pneumatics know-how with PLC (Siemens LOGO) and Arduino experience to bridge software and machine control. He routinely ships cross-platform software for Windows, macOS, Linux and Raspberry Pi, and applies that breadth to tight integrations between UIs and embedded systems. Based in Limburg, Netherlands, he treats hobbyist curiosity as a steady source of professional innovation and rapid prototyping. Notably, his work emphasizes end-to-end ownership—from code and servers to printed circuit boards and on-site automation.
