I DELIVER
BORING

Infrastructure that just works. Like electricity.

Yours probably doesn't.

Need boring infrastructure? I have time January

About Allard

Allard van den Brul

I believe infrastructure should be boring. Boring like electricity - you flip the switch, it works. No drama, no 3 AM wake-up calls, no compromises. I once built a network for an office building that ran 6 years without anyone needing to think about it. That's the kind of boring I deliver.

That old compromise - do it right or do it fast? It bothered me for 15 years. Now, modern automation killed it. Through Altijd Aan, I build systems that are both reliable AND practical. No choosing, no settling.

I'm built for projects, not permanence. I bring fresh energy and 15 years of experience to each challenge. You work directly with me - no layers, no junior handoffs. Someone who genuinely loves making systems disappear into reliability.

When infrastructure matters, I'm altijd aan.
