Turning complex technology into winning deals

Who Am I?
#

Hi! I’m Jeroen Tuijn, based in the Netherlands. My sweet spot? Sales and presales — standing between the technical team and the customer, making sure both sides understand each other and walk away happy.

I’m the person who can explain a complex product in a way that makes sense to a CEO and a CTO. I build the demos, write the proposals, and craft the technical narrative that wins the deal.


What I Bring to the Table
#

🎯 Sales & Presales (My Core)
#

This is where I shine:

  • Technical Presentations & Demos: I don’t just show features — I tell the story of how your product solves the customer’s problem.
  • Proofs of Concept: Building quick, convincing demos that prove the technology works in the customer’s context.
  • Proposal Writing: Translating technical specs into business value. RFPs, tenders, quotes — I make them compelling.
  • Solution Mapping: Listening to what the customer actually needs (not just what they say) and matching it to the right technology.
  • Stakeholder Management: Comfortable talking to engineers, procurement, and C-level in the same week.
  • Competitive Intelligence: Knowing the landscape — who does what, where we win, and where we differentiate.

⚡ Vibe Coding (My Accelerator)
#

When I need to prototype something fast, I don’t start from scratch — I vibe code. Using AI-assisted tools, I go from rough idea to working prototype in hours. It’s not about replacing developers — it’s about having something tangible to show during the sales cycle before the engineering team is even briefed.

  • Rapid Prototyping: Idea → working demo in a single session
  • AI-Assisted Development: Leveraging LLMs and tools to move fast without sacrificing quality
  • PoC Generation: Turning customer requirements into a clickable prototype for the next meeting
  • Static Sites & Portfolios: This site itself is a vibe-coded Hugo portfolio

🛠️ Technical Foundation
#

Under the hood, I’ve got enough technical depth to be credible:

  • Languages: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL, Go (learning), Rust (exploring)
  • Web: Hugo (static sites), React, FastAPI, Node.js
  • DevOps: Docker, CI/CD, Git, Linux, GitHub Actions
  • Databases: PostgreSQL, SQLite

What Drives Me
#

🎯 Winning the Deal: There’s nothing like seeing a proposal you wrote land the account.

🚀 Speed Matters: In sales, timing is everything. A good demo today beats a perfect one next month.

💡 Bridge Builder: I love being the person who connects tech and business — neither side feels misunderstood.

🤝 Customer First: Every solution starts with understanding the problem from their perspective.


Outside of Work
#

When I’m not prepping a demo or building a prototype:

  • Experimenting with AI tools and finding new ways to work faster
  • Tinkering with side projects (half of them never ship, but they’re fun to build)
  • Staying current on the tech landscape — you never know what’ll be relevant for the next deal
  • [Add your hobbies/interests here]

Always open to new opportunities, partnerships, and conversations about technology, sales, or whatever’s on your mind.
