I don’t just build. I rethink the blueprint.

I’m Davy de Vries, a developer who values clarity over noise. When I was twelve, my dad showed me how to make a webpage in FrontPage. That turned into a string of personal sites hosted from our home IP. It felt like digital art. I wasn’t trying to become a programmer. I just wanted to shape the internet with my own hands.

By eighteen, I had already spent six years writing code, but school still wanted me to learn `echo "Hello world";`. I walked away from that path and stepped straight into the industry. That brought me to Prepr, where I went from building interfaces to understanding how entire systems fit together. It was the first time work felt aligned with reality.

As projects grew, so did my scope. Today, I’m more focused on backend structure, patterns, and technical decision-making. My title might say solution architect, but what I really do is find problems early and design around them before they have a chance to grow. That kind of thinking only comes from living inside the product, not just coding it.

I believe in good judgment, not just good process. I don’t follow the ticket if the fire is burning somewhere else. I still care about code quality, performance, and long-term thinking, even when that gets dismissed. My work is quiet, intentional, and rarely flashy. But it holds.
