I'm 37 (in 2018 anyway) from Amsterdam and I've been working as a software developer since 2007. People tell me I'm good at explaining complex technical stuff in a clear way. Part of my work at companies has been doing exactly that. I've coached people in learning JavaScript and consulted with clients.
Senior Full Stack Engineer with 7+ years of experience in React, Ruby on Rails, Redis, GraphQL, ElasticSearch, and PostgreSQL. Led high-impact projects for millions of users, served as interim Tech Lead, and coordinated cross-functional releases. Experienced in security incident response and escalation management.
When I left university (with two degrees), I decided to work in ICT. My first job at the largest newspaper here in the Netherlands, I worked on the search engine (a recurring theme in my career) and the ad-management on their website. After that I went into a mutitude of jobs, the last 10 years however I more or less specialized in C# (and .NET Core when it became available). Nowadays I am looking at Rust and Go.
