§ The teamHeadcount: 1
Matthijs de Bock, founder & principal developer

App de Bock is just me. An aeronautical engineer who ended up building software.

Hey, I'm Matthijs. I studied aeronautical engineering, spent a few years managing product portfolios at an aircraft maintenance company, co-founded a logistics SaaS as CTO, and now build software on my own from Haarlem. Eight years of data-driven products, mostly the unglamorous kind that has to keep working.

§ What I build

Three kinds of work.

01Live

APIs

Built for developers, however you write code. Plug-and-play building blocks that do one thing fast, with docs you can read in five minutes.

FOR → developers shipping today

NOT FOR → enterprise procurement

See the APIs 
02Shipping

Apps

Standalone software built end to end and run in production. Back-office systems, data tools, and whatever's currently in the lab.

FOR → people with a job to do

NOT FOR → engagement metrics

See the apps 

Coming soon · expected early 2027

Production Audits

A 3-day security review for apps built with AI. I read your repo like someone trying to get in, then hand you a plain-language list of what's broken. Worst first.

FOR → AI-built apps with real users

NOT FOR → SOC 2 / ISO compliance

See the audit 

[01] APIs

[03] Lab access // Production audit

SLOTS: 2 / MONTH

Coming soon · expected early 2027

You vibe-coded the MVP. Let's make sure strangers can't read your database.

Cursor and v0 got you to 90%. The last 10% is what they're worst at: ~45% of AI-generated code ships with OWASP Top 10 flaws.

So I read your repo like someone trying to get in: who can see your data, who can call your endpoints, what your app hands to every browser. You get a plain-language list of what's broken, and what to fix first.

§ House rules

The software I build is fast and carbon-efficient, made for humans.

RULE01/04

Fast, or it doesn’t ship.

Every endpoint gets a latency budget before it gets a name.
