I help SMEs go digital.

Freelance software engineer with over twenty years of experience. I turn business processes into software that just works.

Diepenbeek, Belgium

Twenty years in IT and still alive and kicking :-)

For over twenty years I have been building robust software. The first years in employment, since 2022 as a freelancer. I help SMEs keep pace with the digital fast lane. Not technology for its own sake, but solutions that make day to day operations more efficient and better.

I add value without making things needlessly complex. Deliberately simple, with an eye for the right priorities and a case for data hygiene. Because even the best system can feel chaotic if no attention is paid to keeping the data correct and in order.

AI tools I bring in pragmatically as a lever. That way you gain the pace and sharpness of modern tooling, without an overhead of needless complexity.

What I do for you.

I implement Odoo from A to Z. On top of the technical side, this usually comes with a process of change management. I also build custom software, whether or not connected to Odoo, that genuinely looks the part too. Modern, fresh, stylish. Think of a customer portal, a corporate website or a mobile app.

  1. Digitalising business processes

    I map your processes and turn them into working, maintainable software. Less manual work, fewer errors, more oversight.

  2. Odoo implementation and customisation

    Implementation, configuration and custom development in Odoo, both technical and functional. I speak the language of the system and of your business.

  3. Bespoke software engineering

    Tailor made software and integrations on a foundation of solid engineering.

What I work with

  • Odoo
  • Python
  • .NET
  • SQL
  • Postgres
  • React
  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • AI

Demonstrably qualified.

Out of genuine interest and the satisfaction it brings, I keep training myself. That has led to a number of milestones, the most recent being the official certificate from Odoo S.A. (click the badge)

Odoo Certificate of Achievement, Odoo 19 Functional Certification, issued to Joris Helsen, 3 January 2026, certificate number 0000988353.
