About OpenDutchSolutions
OpenDutchSolutions is a Dutch foundation dedicated to open development, sustainable repair, and long-term usability of modern technology.
We combine software engineering, embedded systems development, and hands-on hardware expertise to build, restore, and improve technical systems.
Our goal is simple: technology should remain usable, maintainable, and adaptable — even long after official support ends.
Who We Are
Johan Korten
Johan specializes in software development, with a strong focus on modern application development, including iOS and Swift. His expertise lies in designing robust, maintainable software systems that interact reliably with hardware and external platforms.
In addition to general software engineering, Johan is experienced in embedded software development and system integration, bridging higher-level applications with lower-level systems when needed.
He focuses on clean architecture, long-term maintainability, and practical usability.
Victor Hogeweij
Victor specializes in hardware systems and embedded platforms. His work focuses on board-level diagnostics, embedded Linux systems, firmware customization, and low-level system analysis.
With experience spanning both hardware and embedded software, he works at the intersection of physical systems and firmware — diagnosing faults, modifying bootloaders, and extending the lifespan of complex devices.
His focus is on practical engineering: understanding systems deeply enough to repair, adapt, or improve them.
Our Approach
By combining software expertise and embedded hardware knowledge, we are able to:
- Develop new open software solutions
- Design and modify embedded systems
- Diagnose and repair hardware at board level
- Integrate legacy platforms with modern systems
- Extend device lifecycles through technical intervention
We view development and repair as complementary disciplines.
Our Mission
We believe in:
- Repair over replacement
- Sustainable engineering
- Interoperable systems
- Transparent technical knowledge
Modern devices should not become obsolete due to artificial limitations or discontinued support.
Through development, documentation, and practical engineering, we aim to contribute to a more sustainable and open technical ecosystem.
