Work

Selected engagements, products, and open-source work from twenty-plus years of building and shipping for ambitious companies. Several companies and products were acquired.

Products

SMTP Relay

Puts Salesforce email back in the inbox by routing outgoing messages through your own authenticated mail server, restoring sender reputation, cleaning up Gmail's 'via Salesforce' and Outlook's 'on behalf of' tags, and giving you full control over SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and TLS.

Trusted by tier-1 listed Dutch and international enterprises, delivering over 3 million transactional and marketing email messages per month.

Content automation platform

Founding engineer, technical lead, and product owner of a content automation platform for large retail brands. The product automates data-driven creative production at scale, routing product and campaign data through configurable templates into a high-volume Adobe InDesign output engine that produces marketing creative for brands with large catalogs and multi-market operations.

Core capabilities include product information management (PIM), digital asset management (DAM), campaign planning, graphical design workflows, collaborative review, automated design, and both digital and print publication, forming a full content operations stack in one platform. Services span native Linux, macOS, and Windows components, with integrations to multiple ERP systems.

Scaled to hundreds of active users across multiple retailers during the early years, and today the product serves thousands of users at major European retailers.

Built the first versions end-to-end: product design and architecture, the InDesign automation engine, data pipelines, cross-platform services, ERP integrations, infrastructure and hardware selection, hosting, operations, and customer support. Owned the product through its first decade, grew the engineering team, and was later brought back to stabilize the platform after another team had taken it over.

The product was spun off as an independent company and later acquired by a private equity firm.

Brand management and DAM platform

Creator and CTO of a brand management, digital asset management, and web-to-print platform serving industrial and heavy-equipment manufacturers across global markets. The product centralized brand guidelines, creative assets, and print-ready output for companies operating across multiple countries and languages.

Grew to over 120 enterprise customers across 30+ countries, including major international manufacturers in construction equipment and industrial machinery. The company was later wound down.

Salesforce AppExchange managed packages

Designed and built several Salesforce AppExchange-listed managed packages spanning financial integration, enterprise billing, and native e-signature on the platform.

Financial Framework. A foundation for serious Salesforce financial integration with accounting systems (Exact Online), with two-way synchronization, live accounts receivable and accounts payable data components, multi-currency support, and subscription and entitlement handling.

Billing Engine. Heavy-duty batch invoicing at tens of thousands of invoices per day, supporting complex product structures, flexible invoicing schedules, subscription-based billing, credit notes, and configurable billing from any custom object, integrated natively with the Financial Framework.

Lightning Signature. A native Salesforce electronic signature app that keeps documents and metadata on-platform, with dynamic content templates, audit logging, and a per-signed-document billing model.

The parent company was later acquired along with Financial Framework and Billing Engine.

Selected Engagements

Salesforce 2GP Managed Package

Migrated a legacy Salesforce codebase from an unmanaged org-level deployment to a namespaced 2GP managed package. Refactored application code and flows to be namespace-aware and packaged them for distribution to multiple subscriber organizations in a permit-sensitive industry.

Built the supporting infrastructure and tooling for packaging, refactored the codebase to be more defensive, introduced frameworks, and added structured error logging and traceability.

Built several integrations, a health check dashboard, CI/CD for 2GP builds, and data migration tooling (SFDMU). Ongoing Apex development on the platform layer, with integrations across accounting, payments, government APIs, payment providers, and registration systems.

The codebase spans 140+ custom objects, 300+ flows, and 800+ Apex classes.

Advertising order management and invoicing

Salesforce-based platform for advertising sales, order capture, and invoicing at one of the largest publishers, consolidating previously disconnected legacy systems into a single platform supporting both print and digital advertising across the company's full brand portfolio.

Scope covered order capture, multi-brand billing automation, revenue consolidation, and the integration layer into the downstream accounting system, putting the company's full advertising revenue through a single system.
