One project at a time.
One person from the first conversation to delivery. You know who you are calling and you work directly with the person who is also building it.

I am Youri and I build software the way I would want to use it. Alongside the people who are actually going to use it, of course.

About
I am Youri, 25 years old, and have lived in Groningen for about three and a half years. Outside of work I am a member of Tjas and still very active there.
I completed an HBO-ICT degree at Hanzehogeschool and a pre-master at the University of Groningen. Since September 2025 I have been working full-time at Back to Code.
Around that time I got my first solo project: a chimney sweep who was not happy with his current software. I enjoyed working on it so much that it actually convinced me to register with the KvK after all.
Outside of work I am very active in sports, especially speed skating. And recently I have started training in swimming, cycling and running for an Ironman 70.3 that I want to do in October 2026. So yes, I do like a challenge!

What I do
Custom software for small businesses
A tailored program your business can use every day. Replaces spreadsheets, paper, or other applications that almost-but-not-quite fit.
Something else?
Custom software is what I have the most experience in, but it is far from the only thing I can help with. Still think we would work well together? Get in touch! Worst case, I will point you to someone who is a better match.
How I work
02
Calm pace.
Iruoy runs alongside my current medior engineer role; projects move forward in evenings and weekends, in weeks to months, not days. If you need someone full-time or in a rush, I am not the right person.
03
Honest scoping.
I give you a fixed price after a short discovery conversation. If something turns out bigger than expected, we discuss it before the work starts. Only fair.
