Understand first, build second
I keep asking until it is clear which problem needs solving. Software that solves the wrong problem neatly is wasted money.
About
ReplicaMD is my company. I build software for businesses that need something that works: a site that brings in clients, an application that takes over a process, or a tool that removes manual work.
I trained as a software developer and am studying Applied Data Science and AI in The Hague alongside client work. During two internships I worked inside existing teams on real systems, from front-end to production backend, and learned how software behaves once people depend on it daily.
Next to client work I build my own products. ReplicaMD is a desktop application for developers, ReplicaDesk handles remote screen control and DeskPilot automates work on Windows. Those products force me to think about updates, security and long term support, which client work benefits from directly.
What I offer is deliberately a short list: websites, applications, automation and the care that follows. A short list I genuinely master beats a broad one that only looks good on paper.

You see something working every week instead of a status report. Course corrections stay cheap.
Code, documentation and accounts are yours. Another developer has to be able to take over without me.
I pick proven technology that still makes sense in three years, not whatever is popular this month.
A fixed quote, extra work only with approval, and a starting price published on the site.
One point of contact, a reply within one business day, in Dutch or English.
A bachelor's degree alongside building software: data analysis, machine learning and putting both to practical use.
Training as a software developer, with projects in PHP, JavaScript, Python and databases.
Front-end work and operational project support at an engineering consultancy, including the WordPress website.
Front-end work and backend tasks on systems that were running in production.
Technology does not stand still, so I keep a short list of what I am currently studying and applying directly in projects.
A short conversation is usually enough to decide whether it is feasible and roughly what it costs.
