More about me

After graduation in Informatics at the Hanzehogeschool Groningen (fka Rijkshogeschool Groningen) I worked as technical software engineer in Telecoms, Integration and Energy. I am known for my knowledge and quick understanding of technology as well as complex distributed systems. Next to Software Engineering I am very interested in (Enterprise) Architecture, Integration and new technology. I am an absolute enthusiast when it comes to WSO2's lean enterprise middleware and the OpenVMS operating system. I work well with people, sharing my knowledge and insights, but I can also work very well independently.
