Timothy De Bock

Nearly a decade of experience building software in demanding domains like public services and healthcare related platforms.

I work mainly with .NET and Azure. I turn complex requirements into clear architecture and production ready code that stays maintainable over time. I focus on reliability and performance and clean delivery. I enjoy collaborating with teams and keeping communication straightforward.

Outside work I am a father of two. I recharge with weekend BBQ and books and games.

What I Bring

Value I deliver to your team

Technical Leadership

I design architectures, define patterns, and guide teams through implementation.

Problem Ownership

Complex systems don't scare me. I decompose them into manageable pieces.

Quality at Speed

Fast iterations with solid foundations. Ship often, fail forward.

Research First

Before I commit to a stack or pattern, I spike it.

Team Player

Clear async communication, honest code reviews, pair when it helps.

Regulated Domains

Medical records, immigration data, government systems.

Field Notes

Ideas that won't leave my head

Being a Good Team Member: Build Together, Decide Together, Own Together

Modern software is too big for lone heroes. Being a good team member isn't being nice, it's practicing habits that let a group of imperfect humans reliably deliver quality, learn fast, and be better tomorrow.

The Kind of Leader I'm Trying to Become

Leadership isn't about being in charge, it's about taking care of the people in your charge. I'm building toward a style that's technically strong enough to earn trust, and human enough to keep it.

OpenTelemetry in .NET

The why, a basic implementation + config, and your first steps to production. OTel isn't 'more logging.' It's a system for turning running software into evidence.
