About Accelerated Software Development

We built ASD Engineering after years of working inside professional software teams and repeatedly facing the same structural problems: excessive documentation, manual setup, mismatched environments, avoidable errors, and constant friction between disciplines. These inefficiencies slowed teams down, drained their energy, and turned collaboration into coordination overhead instead of progress.

Over time, we recognised a deeper limitation in how developers support each other. Helping a colleague often meant long calls, screen sharing, and indirect explanations - without direct access to the tools, services, or data needed to solve the actual problem. Modern development environments are complex: a single laptop can host frontend frameworks, backend services, databases, cloud infrastructure, and AI tooling. Yet collaboration between these disciplines still relies on fragmented communication rather than shared, hands-on working environments.

We believe this can be done better.

Our goal is to remove those barriers and redefine how engineering teams collaborate. We want developers to work together in one unified environment - with shorter feedback loops, direct access to each other's running services, and the ability to deliver value immediately. Not through instructions or tickets, but through real, hands-on collaboration.

Founder Kelvin Wuite has been developing these ideas in his free time since 2015. Between 2015 and early 2023, he explored early concepts and tested prototypes with his own freelance clients and personal projects. The project was paused from January 2023 until October 2024. After leaving employment in late 2024, he resumed work full-time and formalised the architecture to bring the platform to market.

Accelerated Software Development B.V. is the result of this journey. It is software designed by engineers who have lived the problems themselves, who understand the pain of repetitive and fragmented workflows, and who are committed to building a faster, more integrated, and more humane way for teams to work together. In an era where AI is accelerating development, we help teams adapt - becoming more agile, more flexible, and better equipped to meet growing demands and expectations.

Mission

We amplify innovation, efficiency, and effectiveness through a boundless, collaborative ecosystem for developers and DevOps teams.

Vision

We see software development shifting from writing code line-by-line to directing an AI-centric ecosystem that enables developers to leverage AI at its best. In that future, ASD is the base of operations: a studio where people design, build, deploy, and spin up demos or acceptance environments anywhere.

Goal

Build a local-first Service Orchestration Engine that combines tunneling, developer environments, and self-hosted orchestration into one seamless platform. ASD orchestrates services, not tasks - runtime-aware, scriptable, and infrastructure-conscious across the entire DTAP lifecycle.

Developers evolve into producers and directors, orchestrating services, pipelines, and AI agents. The platform enables boundless peer-to-peer and team communication while handling repetitive and fragmented work. Human insight, creativity, and technical judgment take center stage, amplified by ASD's unified and modular ecosystem, rooted in open source.

What Drives Us

Kelvin

Kelvin

Founder

I am driven by collaboration without boundaries, where people can create, work together, and stay in control no matter where they are or what device they use. I believe in open source freedom, better use of existing hardware, and empowering small players alongside large ones. As people increasingly direct artificial intelligence as an extension of their own thinking and creativity, I want to make creation accessible even from a mobile phone and help bring the world closer together through shared, human-centered technology.

I see ASD evolving into a decentralized network, with much of its technology becoming open source over time. Cloud infrastructure will increasingly act as a coordination layer — routing, tunneling, fallback — while computation and ownership move closer to people and their devices. ASD will enable direct, temporary, and verifiable connections between devices: sharing data, running services, or even hosting personal and social systems without centralized storage. AI will become more personal and more distributed, and these agents will need reliable ways to communicate. As software creation shifts toward building directly where systems run, traditional CI/CD pipelines will shrink. You move to the environment, create the service, and leave behind a working system. ASD's role is to make that model practical, secure, and accessible, giving people more freedom to create in an increasingly networked world.

My drive is transforming an idea into a successful reality, closely working with specialists, partners/suppliers, and customers, while serving all stakeholders equally and in coherence.

The world is shifting. Geopolitics is no longer background noise: power blocs are reconfiguring, supply chains are fraying, and Europe is recalibrating strategic autonomy amid an aging, contracting workforce. In this pressure cooker, software becomes policy. AI is moving from novelty to infrastructure; automation is shifting from an efficiency play to a demographic necessity. Talent scarcity means hesitation is now a structural risk. We operate where regulation, ethics and velocity collide, translating uncertainty into executable systems. While others debate sovereignty and labour gaps, we deliver resilient software that lets Europe do more with less. We turn rapid change into measurable advantage. When assumptions expire faster than roadmaps, an extra 15 focused developer hours per week powers continuous experimentation and earlier decisions, so refactors stop problems before they scale. A ~60% reduction in development and test TCO and roughly 60% fewer environment incidents make stability a repeatable capability, not a fragile state—freeing capital and attention for strategic work. 50% faster merge-to-deploy and accelerated PoV-to-Production compress validation cycles so clients leave with tomorrow's architecture, not yesterday's certainty, accelerating revenue conversion and market traction. 10–15% better retention preserves institutional judgment and lowers execution risk. These hard outcomes convert to commercial and valuation upside only when paired with Day-1 governance, SOC metrics and 3–5 enterprise PoV-to-Production references. In a landscape where hesitation scales badly, those metrics turn disruption into predictable leverage. We engineer the future—deliberately, together.
