Guust Nieuwenhuis doesn’t believe in reinventing the wheel—he believes in perfecting the ride. As a Full Stack Web Wizard and the Lead Maintainer of Masa CMS, an enterprise-grade open-source project, Guust is deeply embedded in the mechanics of modern web architecture. At his agency, We Are North, he champions 'Customization-As-A-Service,' orchestrating the best existing technologies into seamless, high-performance solutions for clients like NATO, Adobe, Visma and the European Commission.

Guust brings a unique blend of creative rhythm and technical precision to the stage—traits honed not just behind a screen, but also as a double bass player and drummer. He is a firm believer that the best code, much like a great musical performance, is a balance of discipline, creativity, and a relentless focus on the audience’s experience.
