Software Architect & Independent Researcher
I am Tedla Brandsema, a software architect and independent researcher based in the Netherlands.
My work spans software architecture, research and development, and technical consultancy. I am the founder of Cloudberry IT, through which I have worked on large-scale systems, distributed infrastructure, and long-horizon engineering projects.
In addition to my professional work, I pursue independent research and writing on topics related to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the economic and structural dynamics of complex technological systems.
I do not operate within a single fixed discipline. Instead, I tend to follow problems that I find intellectually compelling, which means the subjects I work on can vary over time. What they generally share is a focus on foundational questions, system design, and the long-term implications of technological change.
This site is a public record of my writing, research publications, and open-source software projects.
