I am Kevin Tieman

I build websites, webshops, and apps for business owners who want more than a template. No large team behind me, no account managers between us. You talk directly to the person building your project.

Tieman IT was founded on a simple belief: technology should serve, not impress. I combine full-stack development, my own server infrastructure, and an eye for design into something that works, loads fast, and looks right.

I am from Borne in the Netherlands, 21 years old, and I started by pulling plugs and running Minecraft servers. This is how I got here.

How I got here

  1. Childhood

    The plugs

    As soon as I could walk, I was pulling plugs out.

    What happens if I take this out? Usually nothing good. But I learned how it worked. The living room was my first laboratory: every cable had a story, every blinking light a reason.

  2. Teenage years

    Building my own PC

    First time everything clicked was when I put it together myself.

    My first self-built PC. Then my friends'. That's when I fell in love with the physical side of IT: the perfect combination of parts, that first boot, the moment a screen lights up because of what you wired together.

  3. High school

    Minecraft obsession

    How do I run a server? Build plugins? Play together?

    I went deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole. Java, Bukkit, permissions, writing plugins for my own server. Friends calling for perms, I learned to debug under real-user pressure. Running a full community at age 13.

  4. Young adult

    Networking & home-lab

    I didn't stop at Minecraft.

    Home-server. Own DNS. Redundant network. How does this actually work? I just built it: rack in the garage, VLANs, reverse proxies, manual TLS renewals. Everything I now deploy for clients I tested on myself first.

  5. Now

    Full-stack + design

    Now I build the whole picture.

    From database to design, from network to copy. Everything I learned, fits together. Next.js, React Three Fiber, Prisma, Docker on my own infrastructure, plus an eye for typography, colour, feel. Technical and visual, one thing.

  6. What comes next

    The future

    What I'm building now is just the beginning.

    I keep experimenting, learning, and above all: building what I'd want to use myself. 3D on websites, AI-assisted tooling, platform architecture for service businesses. If you recognise something in this, let's build.

Does this sound like something for you?

Tell me what you want to build. I reply myself, within one business day.
