Summary
👤
SeniorGerard De Brieder is a seasoned Fractional CTO and Owner/Solution Architect based in Utrecht with 17 years of experience building production-ready web applications and infrastructures. He helps organisations recover from drifting technical strategy by delivering early MVPs and iterating with users, favoring Ruby on Rails and Elixir/Phoenix for rapid prototyping and long-term flexibility. As co-founder of a freelancer cooperative focused on high-tech prototypes and secure, privacy-aware systems, he has delivered projects for banks, media and telecom clients including ABN Amro, NPO and Ericsson. His background as a Linux systems engineer grounds his architects’ instincts in operational realities like monitoring, logging and resilient deployments. Comfortable spanning strategy to hands-on delivery, he prioritises measurable outcomes, reduced risk and continuous feedback over long upfront specifications. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex regulatory and security constraints into pragmatic, deployable software.
