[Home](https://desoftwareman.nl/en/)/About Wesley About Wesley # I build software and run my own business. I’m Wesley Abbenhuis. Software architect, entrepreneur and founder of Wabber B.V. Around the age of nine, I was already programming in MS-DOS and making my own small games. At about ten, I was studying the thick MS-DOS Bible. That curiosity about how technology works has stayed with me. Since 2009, I have worked full-time as an application developer, building software and infrastructure. Since 2018, my team at Wabber and I have been building business-critical systems for organisations that depend on reliable technology. I understand technology, as well as investments, people, customers, risk and business continuity. That is why I consider what makes business sense alongside what is technically possible. Founder and owner of Wabber B.V. since 2018. background ## From MS-DOS to my own software company. My interest in technology started at home, with MS-DOS and small games I made myself.
