Hi, I'm Wouter - DevDad
Microsoft Software Engineer, father, and builder of AI tools, mobile apps, educational software, and developer workflow experiments.
what I build
Software with a practical, personal edge.
DevDad is where professional engineering habits meet side projects: apps for real users, games for learning, open-source experiments, and notes from working with modern developer tools.
Educational games
Family-inspired learning experiences that turn practice into something playful and repeatable.
AI and .NET tooling
Experiments with LLM orchestration, GitHub Copilot workflows, .NET, Azure, and developer productivity.
Developer workflow experiments

devdad identity
Professional engineering, shaped by real life.
DevDad is the overlap between my work as a Microsoft software engineer and the things I build outside work: learning tools, games, app experiments, AI-assisted workflows, and practical writing about software development.
The fatherhood part matters. It keeps the work grounded in clarity, patience, usefulness, and the habit of making technology approachable for people who did not ask for unnecessary complexity.
