About De Rijk Digital
I build custom software that automates manual data work for Dutch SMBs.
Who I Am
I'm Dennis de Rijk. I build custom software that automates manual data work for Dutch SMBs.
After 6+ years building data pipelines, automation tools, and API integrations, I've seen what actually saves companies time, versus what ends up collecting dust.
What I Do
I specialize in data analytics, process automation, API integrations, and custom software development. My approach combines technical expertise with clear communication; I translate complex technical concepts into actionable business solutions.
Whether it's building a custom dashboard, automating manual workflows, or integrating disparate systems, I focus on delivering solutions that work, are well documented, and can be maintained by your team.
I'm Not For Everyone
I say no to:
- •Projects where the problem isn't clear yet (though I can help you define it first through consulting)
- •Building something that already exists as affordable SaaS
- •Rush jobs with no time for proper testing
- •Ongoing retainers without defined deliverables
If you need someone to figure out what you need, that's fine; let's start with a consulting engagement. But I won't pretend to have answers before understanding your problem.
Why Hire Me Instead of an Agency?
You talk to a salesperson, then a project manager, then a junior developer
You talk to me. I scope it, build it, and support it.
Fixed packages that sort-of fit your needs
Custom solution built exactly for your workflow
Higher overhead means higher prices
Lower overhead means better value for focused projects
Knowledge lives in documentation (maybe)
Knowledge transfer is part of every project
How I Work
Why Work With Me?
As an independent consultant based in the Netherlands, I offer the flexibility of a freelancer with the reliability of an established professional. You get personalized attention, direct access, and solutions tailored to your specific needs.
I'm fluent in both Dutch and English, so we can communicate in whichever language you prefer. I understand Dutch business culture and regulations, making collaboration smooth and efficient.
