About

Background & Story

Stefan van de Wetering, MSc

Stefan

Founder of Crunchy Cracker

Turning ideas into smooth apps and smart code.

My path into software development wasn’t traditional — and that’s one of my strengths.

I’ve been self-employed since 2014, long before I started building apps. That experience taught me how businesses actually operate: tight budgets, real customers, practical constraints, and the need for solutions that create value quickly.
My academic background is in engineering. I earned my Master of Science degree in Building Engineering from the Eindhoven University of Technology, specializing in Building Physics. That field is deeply analytical and mathematical — it trains you to break down complex systems into structured, solvable components.

That same mindset now drives my work as a developer.

Programming feels natural to me because it’s essentially structured problem solving. I enjoy turning abstract ideas into well-organized, functional systems. Clean architecture, logical structure, and long-term maintainability are not afterthoughts — they are core principles in how I build software.

Today, my main focus is Flutter app development. Python plays a supporting role when automation, data processing, or backend logic is needed — but building polished, production-ready apps is where I do my best work.

On a personal note, I’ve been vegan since 2006. Making thoughtful, conscious choices matters to me — in life and in work. I believe in building things responsibly, sustainably, and with intention.

What I Can Do for Your Business

I help small businesses turn ideas into practical, working mobile applications.

This can mean:

  • A customer app that strengthens your brand
  • An internal tool that saves time and reduces manual work
  • A digital product that opens a new revenue stream
  • Modernizing outdated workflows with clean, efficient software

I work primarily with Flutter, which allows me to build high-quality apps for both Android and iOS from a single codebase. This keeps development efficient and cost-effective — especially important for small businesses.
