Let's figure out if we can work together

Ways I can help you

I can help you both with immediate technical needs and long-term support.

  • Irrigation System Design

    If a grower approaches you that is after a new irrigation system or is planning to upgrade his existing system, I can help you design the system in CAD software and provide technical support during the installation process.

  • Project Management Support

    A new irrigation system is always a big investment for the grower. The system need to be installed in a set time frame and it needs to be installed right. I can help reach agreed deadlines and ensure a quality installation.

  • Digital Tool Education

    Most design software tools have tutorials on how to use them on the internet. Most of these online tutorials provide generic instructions, I tailor my teachings to be industry-specific, making them more relevant for your business.

About

The founder and operator of Madeway.

  • Hey, I'm Daniel van Waas

    On-demand irrigation system designer and consultant.

    Origin

    At a young age, I learned to weld steel constructions and in 2012 I successfully graduated as a mechanical engineer. After that I was motivated to explore the world and had a 1.5-year-long adventure in New Zealand where I travelled and played rugby.

    University

    In 2014 I returned to the Netherlands to go back to university to study project management. After earning my degree, I worked for an established greenhouse technology provider as a project manager and designer, where I was involved in large, high-tech irrigation projects.

    New Zealand

    Despite this being meaningful work and that life was comfortable, I knew this wasn’t “it”. I wanted to move out of the environment I grew up in, to break the rhythm and explore new things. I packed my suitcase and returned to New Zealand in 2019. It was a life reset. I lived and worked in New Zealand for 5 years and I now have a Permanent Resident Visa.

    What I'm doing now

    Now I'm back in the Netherlands, self-employed, helping small to medium-sized installation businesses in the horticulture and agriculture industries overcome technical challenges in their operations by assisting where I can to repeatedly install quality systems for their customers.

    Experience

    With over 10 years of experience in project management and irrigation systems engineering, working on large six-figure projects, coupled with 16 years of expertise in CAD design software, I managed to build a strong technical foundation. Book a call and let's see if we can work together.
