Tech Teams.
Building, leading, and upgrading engineering teams for more than 20+ years. From gathering one thousand plus engineers in a single conference edition to leading delivery teams inside the biggest banks and ministries of the Netherlands.
Four surfaces, one standard.
- Team formation. Hiring profiles describing the actual job instead of a wishlist, interview frameworks catching the person who talks well but cannot ship, and onboarding built to stick past the first bad week
- Engineering culture. Code review discipline catching problems instead of rubber-stamping them, a testing strategy the team actually trusts, and a delivery rhythm surviving contact with a real deadline
- Agentic workflows. AI coding agents wired directly into the team’s existing process, not bolted on as a novelty, so engineers spend their attention on the interesting ten percent of a problem instead of the repetitive ninety
- Leadership coaching for tech leads and CTOs stepping into a role nobody trained them for, where the hardest part is rarely the technology
The best teams automate the routine parts.
A team manually deploying, manually testing, and manually checking its own work is spending its best hours on work a pipeline should be doing. CI/CD, DevOps automation, and AI agents absorb this repetitive load so engineers get their attention back for the part actually needing a human.
This is not a theory borrowed from a conference talk. It is the exact playbook running the ventures inside the AW Ventures portfolio today, where small teams ship at a pace normally needing three times the headcount.
Talent from everywhere, quality everywhere.
A team built across Rotterdam and Willemstad works to exactly one standard, the same one satisfying a bank’s compliance team, regardless of which side of the ocean wrote the code.
This matters because talent does not sort itself neatly by geography. The best engineer for a role might be in Curaçao, in Rotterdam, or somewhere neither, and the standard has to travel with the work instead of getting diluted the further it gets from the client.
