About

Tuinstra.DEV is Marcel Tuinstra at the business table.

I build Tuinstra.DEV for discovery, niche software and practical product work. My personal projects and notes live at marcel.tuinstra.dev.

Work that gives energy

I like complex workflows with several people, much context and recurring frustration. The best questions often start before someone can write a clean ticket.

How I work

I ask questions, make choices explicit and prefer one small version done well over a large plan done halfway. Quality means tests, simplicity and product sense.

Poor fit

A forty-hour freelance developer role clashes with how I work. I prefer responsibility for a bounded problem, discovery or first version.

Tone

Practical, sober, sharp and human. I do not need to look like a guru. I want you to understand your software problem better after a conversation.
