About

I am a problem-solver that spend several years working in webdevelopment agencies making websites and e-commerce shops. A few years ago, I shifted to big web-applications and I love it. There is nothing greater than going from an idea to a good product... And I feel lucky to be a part in that process.

In my spare time, I'm a father of 3 lovely daughters but also try to contribute to open source projects as much as possible. When I see some new tech, my hands are itching to try and see what I can create with it.

Front-end developer

@ Sweet Mustard

Responsibilities

Even though I enjoyed the team lead experience, I went back to coding in the front-end... I still coach external people though. I developed web applications in React, but also hybride mobile apps in React Native and Flutter. The 'VanheedePlus' app is one of the projects I co-created. I also coach IT-teams of clients & I am invested in speaking in front of an audience. My current work involves micro front-end architecture and component libraries.

Stack Architect & Team Lead

@ Meditech

Responsibilities

I helped to create Meditech products together with a team of 4 developers. I introduced the Agile mindset in the team. Near the end I had redrawn the entire stack towards a service-based architecture. The architecture was loosely coupled and had the ability to serve data 40 times faster and was 200 times more resilient (in comparison to the previous monolith).
