devGS

Making software that simply works. Always. In all circumstances. Without fringes and fuss. That is what devGS is all about. It’s not about frameworks or principles. It’s about delivering the software that makes your business run as efficient and as effective as possible. 

About Me

Developing With a Passion.

devGS sounds like a big framework, but it’s just me, Gaston. I’m a professional with more than 20 years of experience in software engineering. I’m at best when I can develop complex software solutions for customers. Getting to the core of the business and developing the right software is what makes me tick.

In the last 20 years I became a skilled developer, but I also worked in various other roles such as architect, scrum master, product owner and even as a teacher. I can easily switch from the development level towards the business point of view. My customers appreciate me for my can-do mentality, perseverance and realism.

My Services

Software

Development of customized software, fully adapted to your business needs. My specialties are Java, Spring Boot and Apache Kafka.

Architecture

Architecture is a wide subject. I can deliver architecture on business, data and application level to realize your business needs.

Agile

As a scrum master, I can bring teams to delivering the highest value by working together – in a pragmatic approach; Agile is never the goal.

Training

As a former teacher at the Applied University I can deliver standard or fully customized trainings and workshops.
