Richard van der Oost | Full Stack Tech Founder

I turn manual work into set-and-forget workflows. Workflows that can run unattended, at scale, without crashing at 3am.

I've run one for 12 years: Blendergrid, a cloud render farm I founded.

If manual work eats your team's time, and has them stuck doing admin instead of creating value. If you have a bunch of disconnected tools that don't work together, I can help.

Two businesses run on systems I built and still operate:

Blendergrid

Cloud rendering platform (founder, 12 yrs)

  • Distributed render infrastructure. Python, scaling compute across 35 datacenters. 40,000 animations in 3 days (~7 years on a single PC). Case studies with Benetton and Sony Music.
  • Template + CSV batch rendering for 3D animations - Thousands of unique renders running unattended.
  • LLM support workflow - routes and categorizes incoming tickets, escalates to SMS when urgent.
  • Email automation - onboarding and marketing flows segmented by acquisition channel, built on AWS SES.

Clik.fit

3D-printed custom mouthguards (co-founder/CTO)

  • Automated manufacturing pipeline — 3D scan in, custom-fit mouthguard out. [N] produced.
  • In-house CRM — runs operations end to end, connecting services via APIs.
  • Supply-chain automation — CSV/API workflows connecting tools that weren't designed to talk to each other.

I care about the boring parts of automation: Error handling, retries, idempotency, unit cost at volume.

That's the difference between an automation you operate and one you babysit.

Stack

Python, Ruby on Rails, PHP/Laravel, TypeScript/React, PostgreSQL, Docker, AWS, Anthropic/OpenAI APIs, n8n/Make/Zapier where they fit.

Send me the process you want off your plate. I'll tell you whether it's automatable and what it takes.
