Portrait of Wouter Walmink

A bit about me

Software deserves to be beautiful in form and function, to be well-positioned and a joy to use. My favourite challenge is the thousand-odd decisions that make these come together. I’ve led product end-to-end at AI startups, contracted in design and code, and bootstrapped my own software business. I thrive in small teams with high trust, matter over ego, and that are driven by curiosity.

I’m a Dutchman who has made Denmark home, together with my Australian partner and our 6-year-old.
