Open-source aficionado
Always
A fair share of my private work is done through open-source media. I don’t have a portfolio but I have a Github where I share most things.
CTO at Frontliners (previously INFORIT)
2018 - Now
At Frontliners I am responsible for the entire technical architecture of the new TFX stack that I launched shortly after 2018. This involves setting up and maintaining a modern event-based microservice architecture on a Kubernetes-based SaaS cloud solution and migrating to modern programming languages such as dotnetcore and React.
The other main responsibility I have is creating and maintaining a coherent team of lead developers by sharing knowledge, making decisions, and empowering leads to explore technologies outside of their comfort zone.
At Frontliners I also help with the recruitment of new employees, setting up and maintaining agile strategies including proper test management, and general software development. During my time at Frontliners, we’ve grown from 5-7 in-house developers to 10, full-sized, SCRUM teams.
Most relevant technologies used: dotnetcore, React, Angular, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Mongo, PostgreSQL, Growthbook, Docker & Kubernetes
Hanflex employee

I started working for the HAN (hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen) in 2015. The HAN offers us different jobs (teaching others, open door days, etc) and we are free to reply and take those. I primarily respond to the open-door days and the teaching jobs. On the open-door days, I usually work with 3d printers and a laser cutter.
