About Me
Joris Windmolders
Freelancer and founder of alfonsoft.dev
I’m passionate about creating innovative software solutions. Driven by a desire to unlock the full potential of software, I pursued a master's in computer science, where I explored how systems and applications can be designed and implemented. I then followed up with a PhD in applied mathematics, diving deep into mathematical models for 3D curves and surfaces. After a successful career in the software industry, I decided to work as a freelancer and launch my own brand as an indie developer.
My journey
My career began with developing mathematical models for CAD systems used in quality control for manufacturing. Years later, this expertise paved the way for applications like enabling robots to mill custom health-improving objects tailored to individual patients. As I advanced in software engineering and architecture, working across healthcare, finance, research, and manufacturing, I increasingly recognized the critical importance of securing software at its core. Gradually, I found myself advocating for security investments, convincing coworkers, managers, and customers to prioritize it.
Balance
Just as every bit in the digital world has two possible states, I’m driven by two essential goals: spreading awareness about security in development and creating unique software that draws on my technical expertise. Like the 0s and 1s that form the foundation of software, these goals sometimes work together and sometimes apart. But it’s always about striking the right balance — between creation and security, between relying on established foundations and exploring new possibilities.
