Eagle Software Consultancy B.V.
19 years of software
architecture, built to last.
Independent staff-level engineering and software architecture for teams building serious, long-lived systems — from medical device software to particle accelerator control systems. Hybrid within the Netherlands (on-site part of the week); fully remote anywhere else.
About
Nearly two decades in regulated, high-stakes software.
Eagle Software Consultancy works at the intersection of software architecture and staff-level engineering, with a track record built almost entirely in domains where failure isn't an option: medical devices, radiotherapy planning, urodynamic diagnostics, and particle accelerator control systems.
That background shapes the approach: architecture decisions are made deliberately and documented, technical debt is treated as a first-class risk rather than a footnote, and teams are coached toward the kind of process maturity that produces reliable, certifiable releases — not just working demos.
The consultancy takes on engagements where an organization needs someone who can define the architecture, defend it under real engineering pressure, and stay close enough to the code to know it actually holds up.
Services
Where I help.
Engagements are scoped to a specific problem, not a headcount.
Staff Engineering
Embedded technical leadership inside your team: unblocking the hardest problems, raising the engineering bar, and mentoring senior engineers toward staff-level thinking.
Software Architecture
System design, scalability reviews, and migration strategy — with architecture decision records that explain not just what to build, but why.
Technical Due Diligence
Independent codebase and team audits for investors, acquirers, or leadership who need a clear read on technical risk before they commit.
Direct Build
When the right move is to ship rather than advise, this consultancy writes the core systems directly — production code, not prototypes.
Track record
Systems this experience has shaped.
A selection of the domains and problems this consultancy's engineering background covers.
Took a next-generation reprocessing platform to market readiness as architect and staff engineer, simplifying an over-engineered architecture and lifting the team's delivery maturity to produce faster, more reliable releases.
.NET Core 8 · REST · MySQL · Entity Framework · Azure DevOps · PlaywrightLed software development for a platform serving custom particle accelerators and ion beam analysis systems, paying down significant technical debt and introducing abstraction layers that let the system absorb hardware diversity without ballooning complexity.
Python 3.9 · Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 · PostgreSQL · PlantUMLDefined a new software architecture unifying two merged companies' product lines into a single platform built to absorb future acquisitions, then supported four development teams in adopting it and introduced Scrum across the organization.
C# · .NET 4.7 · WPF · SQL Server · Entity FrameworkBrought structural discipline to a monolithic application carrying significant technical debt, and co-authored a cross-company reference architecture with hospital stakeholders that set the direction for an entire product line's evolution.

How an engagement runs.
Understand the terrain
Read the code, talk to the team, find where the real constraints are before proposing anything.
Decide, in writing
Architecture decisions are documented with trade-offs made explicit, so the reasoning outlives the project.
Stay close to the code
Recommendations are tested against real implementation, not left as slides nobody can execute.
Leave it standing
The team can maintain and extend the system on its own — that's the actual deliverable.
