At ten Bruggencate Development, it is not just about working — it is about collaboration. With a dedicated AI development partner, a team is formed that delivers the quality and speed clients expect from a full-service agency.
Guy ten Bruggencate
Founder & Senior Developer
The person behind the work
Guy ten Bruggencate is a software engineer with over 20 years of experience in backend and full-stack development. From technical specialist at various agencies, through senior developer and tech lead roles, to an independent practice supporting clients across complex software projects.
Core expertise: Symfony, Laravel, Shopware, PHP and Pimcore. Core strength: architectural oversight, pragmatic approach and direct communication without middlemen.
Guy makes all technical decisions, designs the architecture, reviews all code and maintains direct contact with clients. Every line of code that goes to production has been reviewed by him.
Claude
AI Development Partner
The technology that makes the difference
Claude is the AI assistant by Anthropic, used daily as a dedicated development partner. Not a gadget, not an experiment — an integral part of the development process that multiplies output.
Claude assists with writing, reviewing and refactoring code, writing tests, analysing architectural decisions and generating documentation. All under the direct supervision and final responsibility of Guy.
The result: the speed and output of a team, with the consistency and personal approach of a single dedicated developer.
How the collaboration works
Every assignment follows a proven process where human and AI work together — but the human always decides.
Guy designs
Architecture, strategy and technical decisions are made by a senior developer with 20+ years of experience.
Claude assists
AI helps with code generation, testing, documentation and exploring solution directions — always within the boundaries Guy sets.
Guy reviews
All code is reviewed by an experienced developer. Nothing goes to production without human approval.
Better together
The result: higher quality, faster delivery and the personal attention that comes with an independent developer.
Why AI as a development partner?
Faster delivery
Tasks that normally take hours — writing tests, generating documentation, refactoring code — are completed in minutes. This means faster delivery without compromising on quality.
Higher code quality
Every change is checked by AI for consistency, security and best practices. Four eyes see more than two — even when two of them are artificial.
Scalability without overhead
One developer with AI support delivers what traditionally requires a small team. No overhead, no communication loss, no varying quality.
Always up to date
AI stays current with the latest frameworks, security practices and design patterns. Combined with 20 years of practical experience, a powerful mix of knowledge emerges.
Work together?AI does not replace craftsmanship — it enhances it. All decisions, all architecture, all client communication: that is and remains human work. AI is the tool that makes it possible for an independent developer to deliver the quality and speed that matches the ambition.
