Freelance · .NET · Azure

Senior engineering for software that has to work.

I'm Thomas Mertens — the developer behind TMIT bv. For a decade I've helped companies ship robust .NET and Azure solutions, modernize ageing platforms, and connect systems that refuse to talk to each other.

What I do

Two ways we can work together.

Pick whichever fits — I do both well, and I don't do much else. Focus is the point.

On the side

Websites, designed and built

Need a sharp, fast, modern website? I design and develop bespoke sites — no bloated templates, no generic page-builders. Clean code, great Core Web Vitals, ready for search engines and LLMs alike.

  • Design & development end-to-end
  • Performance, SEO & accessibility baked in
  • Clear ownership — the code is yours

How I work

Senior-level by default.

You're hiring a partner who has seen enough production incidents to stay boring on purpose.

01

Pragmatic, not dogmatic

Clean architecture matters, but so do deadlines. I pick the simpler solution when the simpler solution holds up — and I flag when it won't.

02

Cloud-native, cost-aware

Azure is home turf. I design for scale, but I don't over-engineer — a Function app is cheaper than a Kubernetes cluster, and usually enough.

03

Own the outcome

Code is a means, not the goal. I take responsibility for what ships — from the first analysis to the deploy that actually lands in production.

04

Communicate like an adult

No surprises. Progress is visible, risks are raised early, and stakeholders know what to expect. Boring is a feature.
