Nick Postma

I am Nick Postma from Wierden, the Netherlands. At CCV Shop in Hengelo I lead the development team, a team of twenty people with backend developers, frontend developers and UI/UX designers. In addition, I joined the management team at the beginning of 2026, where I contribute to product development, innovation and the course of the organisation, and I have been Project Manager Business Development since 2025. I started there in 2015 as a software engineer and then built up the quality assurance department as Head of QA. Alongside my job at CCV Shop I have been working since 2019 under the name DoingCode as an independent developer.

My work moves between two worlds that reinforce each other. On one side the bigger picture: planning projects, getting teams to work together and bringing new propositions to market on time. On the other side the technology itself, which is still where I like to be most. Writing code, designing systems and figuring out how something really works instead of how it is supposed to work.

What I build

As an independent developer I build custom software for clients who get stuck on standard packages. The biggest project of recent years is a club portal for sports clubs: one system for member administration, class planning, tournaments with live results, membership fees and the club's own website. You can read more about it further on.

I also have a soft spot for automating quality checks. Tests, pipelines and static analysis do not just save time, they make software demonstrably better. That is what I built up at CCV Shop over the years and what I apply just as rigorously in my own projects.

Where I come from

I started in 2007 with C++ for the Nintendo DS at Triangle Studios, on titles like Tien voor Taal and Suske en Wiske. After that came years as a software engineer and database administrator at Trajectplanner, C# work around Lync and Skype for Business at MSML, and my own venture around sports and travel. From game consoles to business software: the common thread is curiosity about how things fit together.

What keeps me busy

Lately I have been diving into Kubernetes: building my own cluster the GitOps way, deliberately breaking it and getting it back up. That teaches more than any course. What I learn along the way I write down, so the next developer gets there faster.

Curious what I can do for you? Feel free to get in touch.
