About

I’m Daniel Eisenhardt, an independent interim software professional based in the Netherlands. I’ve worked in software since 2010, with a focus on backend development and experience across frontend development and cloud infrastructure.

Interim work suits me because understanding unfamiliar environments and improving them is what I excel at. I’m particularly interested in organizations where existing software needs attention, delivery has become difficult, or a team needs someone who can take responsibility across development, infrastructure, and technical coordination.

My first step is to understand what is already there: how the software works, how people work with it, and what the business needs from it. That means talking to the people involved as well as examining the code and infrastructure. From there, I work with the team to identify priorities and make practical improvements within the available time and budget.

I remain hands-on. My background is in PHP backend development, and my work has broadened to include Python, AWS infrastructure, deployment, and operations. Experience with frontend development helps me follow a problem across the system and understand how decisions in one area affect another.

I’m interested in improvements that keep working after my assignment ends. That includes making systems easier to maintain, sharing knowledge, and helping people take ownership of the work. I judge technical choices by what they enable the organization to do and what it will take to maintain them.
