Reliably Coded
Reliably Coded B.V. is the personal company of Sasha Romijn from Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
I’m an independent developer, consultant, and community organiser with over 15 years of experience delivering high-quality software. I help clients turn complex needs into robust, maintainable systems.
I’m known for consistently delivering solutions that meet or exceed my client’s goals and expectations. While I often design and write code, my broader insights and strategic advice are just as essential to project success.
In recent years, my focus has been on internet infrastructure, internet standards, and network management — a field in which I have a long history. Many network operators across the internet directly or indirectly rely on my work.
Most of my work is open source, and I take pride in creating systems that are reliable, clean, and built to last. I specialize in Python and Django. My past experience spans a wide range of technologies and domains.
I’m also passionate about inclusive communities, developer culture, and technical events. I’m actively involved in conference organising and community management for Write the Docs, and I’ve previously been a committer and conference organiser for the Django web framework.
Current roles
- Developer and maintainer of the Internet Routing Registry Daemon, currently working on draft-ietf-grow-nrtm-v4.
- Lead developer of Internet.nl, a testing tool for many different internet standards.
- Core operations team at Write the Docs.
- Developer and maintainer of IRRexplorer.
- Co-chair of the RIPE open source working group.
In the past I’ve done various work for IETF, ISOC, and was a committer on the Django web framework.
Some of my side projects include:
- Running AS213279, a small personal network. This website is hosted on it, so if you are reading it this, it proves I can run my own AS.
- The Less Obvious Conference Checklist: a checklist of less obvious things for conference organisers that help build amazing, wonderful, welcoming and inclusive events.
- Open-Source Happiness Packets, a platform for people to anonymously reach out to the people that you appreciate or to whom you are thankful in your open-source community. I built this with Mikey Ariel to promote kindness in the Django and other open-source communities. Over 1250 messages have been sent by our users, of which over 125 are publicly available in the archive.
