Ideas worth untwisting.
I build websites, e-commerce, cloud and AI for people who want more than a template.
No account managers, no junior hands, no mystery timelines — just me, and more then two decades of doing this.
What I do
From idea to live — handled.
Websites, e-commerce, apps, custom backends, cloud and AI — one senior developer, on it since 2007.
Websites & CMS
TYPO3, WordPress and custom PHP — including bespoke TYPO3 plugins.
Commerce & ERP
Shopify, WooCommerce and Odoo — storefronts and back-office in sync.
App development
Native and web apps, from idea to store — like my own James app.
Custom backends & portals
Bespoke backends and customer portals wired straight into your ERP.
Cloud hosting
Managed hosting you don’t have to think about — monitored, backed up, fast.
AI & automation
Practical AI and automation that clears the busywork — and that you own.
What I build on
AI I work with
Selected work
A few things I’ve shipped.
AI, done properly
Intelligence where it actually pays off.
Everyone’s bolting a chatbot onto something and calling it innovation. I’d rather build AI that does real work — and that you actually own.
Custom assistants
Trained on your own docs, products and tone of voice — so the answers are actually right, not generic.
Automation that works
Quoting, content, data entry, reporting — the repetitive work that eats your week, quietly handled.
Wired into your stack
Plugged straight into TYPO3, WordPress or Odoo — part of your systems, not a separate island.
The technical bit
Engineered, not assembled.
I sweat the things you can’t see — they’re what keep a site fast, secure and still maintainable three years from now. No page-builder sludge, no copy-paste themes.
How I build
- Custom-built code & blocks — not drag-and-drop bloat
- Custom TYPO3 plugins, WordPress blocks & headless where it fits
- Version control, code review & CI on every project
- APIs & integrations that connect the tools you already run
Built to last
- Core Web Vitals & performance budgets, measured not guessed
- Accessibility (WCAG AA) baked in from the first line
- Security-first & GDPR-clean — self-hosted fonts, no data leaks
- Documented & handed over — or hosted & maintained by me
Since 2007
The developer agencies don’t have in-house
I’m Gerry — the developer agencies call when they’ve dreamed up something they can’t build in-house. TwistedMinds started in 2007 with a simple idea: small marketing and communication agencies have brilliant creative people, but rarely the developer to bring it to life. So I became that developer.
Two of the corporate clients I had when I started TwistedMinds back in 2007 are still with me today — and one of them I still work for at least once a week. Relationships like that aren’t won with a sales deck; they’re earned by showing up and doing the work, year after year.
Nearly two decades on, I still do exactly that — and a good deal more: websites, commerce, custom software, cloud and AI, for agencies and the brands they serve. And it’s still just me — one senior developer, from the first call to the final deploy. No account managers, no juniors, no handoffs.

- TYPO3, WordPress, Shopify, Odoo, WooCommerce & custom PHP
- AI & automation that does real work
- One senior developer, start to finish

Hosting you don’t have to think about
Managed cloud hosting — monitored, backed up and fast. I keep it running so you can keep building.
