Patchwork Networks
Uithoorn · Amstelveen · Amsterdam

Networks, cameras and IT support, set up properly and explained clearly.

I'm Daniel. I design and look after connectivity for international companies for a living. Patchwork Networks brings that same standard to homes and small businesses: fixed prices, tidy installs and a written handover.

Prices are for labour and are final: no VAT is charged under the Dutch small-business scheme (KOR). Hardware is usually bought by you, from a list I prepare, so the warranty is in your name. Not sure what you need? Start with a WiFi Check-up or ask in the quote form.

How it works

From first message to handover.

  1. Get in touch

    Send the quote form or an email. I reply within 24 hours.

  2. Site visit

    I look at the space, measure the WiFi and listen to what you need.

  3. Fixed quote

    A clear scope and price, plus a hardware list you order yourself.

  4. Install

    Tidy, labelled and tested, on weekday evenings or Saturdays.

  5. Handover

    Network map, passwords and settings in writing. Patchwork Care if you want it.

Every place I've called home, connected. The one sending the signal is home today.

About

Eight homes, one network.

I grew up across Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Asia before settling in the Netherlands. Moving that often teaches you to adapt, and how much it matters to stay connected. That is what the logo shows.

For more than ten years I have worked in IT, telecom and security: delivering over 1,000 internet connections worldwide, leading connectivity across Europe, the Middle East and Africa for international companies, and planning CCTV coverage for security deployments.

Patchwork Networks brings that standard home: networks that are designed, documented and handed over properly, and explained in plain English, Nederlands, Français or Deutsch.
