Summary

Ever since I started to take part in large corporate development projects, I've been fascinated by the pitfalls of software architecture and code quality. Using my computer science background, I like to teach programming in its software engineering context, so not just the "How do I make it work?" but also the "How does it work" and "Why does it work that way".

Technologies I specialize in right now are Python and Javascript (Especially Angular2 and VueJS). I have also worked professionally with PHP, .NET, Java, and Golang. The focus generally being web development.

Happy with the growth we had achieved at WebMi, and looking for a better work/life balance, I set out as a complete freelancer. I still work for a couple of clients from my startup days. Right now I focus on developing the new flagship product for caoloon.com, a dutch-based database of union agreements used by businesses for their compliance.

With a good friend, I started an IT staffing startup. We provided developers to clients on a freelance basis. I managed interns and Junior developers we hired. Next to that I did development work for three different clients, which explains the somewhat long list of Technologies used :).
