About me

Hi, I'm Noël.

Software developer from Tilburg. I learned to code at an early age and never really stopped.

I build custom apps, web applications and integrations with Laravel, .NET and Python. Straight talk, no sales pitch, and usually a little more than asked.

My story

From a curious kid to a developer

  1. Started young

    At an early age I found out that code lets you make things happen. What started as curiosity became a passion, and that passion is still there, every day.

  2. From passion to profession

    I completed my software education and have been building custom work ever since: web applications, integrations, AI solutions and apps. With Roosterke I even have an app of my own in the App Store.

  3. Now: noelp.dev

    From Tilburg I help business owners with software that genuinely saves time. One point of contact, a fixed price, and someone who truly enjoys the craft.

Beyond the code

Who you are actually hiring

A homebody by nature

I'm quite a homebody by nature. At home, at my own table, I work most focused. I'm happy to visit you; the building happens in peace and quiet at home.

Crazy about driving

I love driving. A good drive is my perfect way to step away from the screen for a while.

Approach

How I work

Your problem first

I start with what you need, not with the technology. Listen first, then build.

A deal is a deal

Fixed price and deadline up front. If I say Friday, it is Friday.

Preferably with nice people

A good click makes the result better. I choose that on purpose.

Tech stack

Laravel, .NET, Python and mobile

Four platforms I build with every day and know inside out. I pick what fits your project, not whatever happens to be my favourite.

Laravel

My main web stack. Multi-tenant SaaS, stores, dashboards and customer portals. Secure, fast and delivered with clear documentation.

Laravel Livewire Filament Eloquent Queues Pest

C# / .NET

For larger platforms with a strict layered design. The Roosterke backend runs entirely on .NET 10: API, admin panel, statistics and background jobs.

.NET 10 ASP.NET Core Blazor EF Core Web API Workers

Python

Automation, data pipelines, scraping, AI integrations and backend microservices. Wherever speed and clarity matter.

FastAPI Django Pandas Playwright OpenAI SDK Celery

Mobile apps

Native apps for iPhone and Android from one codebase, with push notifications and a link to your own backend. That is how the Roosterke app is built.
