Maarten De Wilde, independent software architect and technical lead in Belgium

Hands-on architecture for complex enterprise and industrial software.

I design systems that fit how an organization actually works, help decide what gets built, and stay in the code for the hardest problems. Building software since 2009, mostly in .NET, Azure and Angular.

What I do

Architecture
Architectures that balance today's business needs with room to change, without drowning in their own abstractions.
Engineering
I write production code alongside the team, especially in the hardest parts of the domain. LLMs are part of how I deliver, within enterprise standards and review.
Product and analysis
When needed, I support the product owner or step in as analyst, turning ambiguous business needs into a clear backlog and technical plan across international teams.
Mentoring
I coach developers on design, code quality and the business context they are building for.
