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

I enjoyed the team lead experience but went back to calling myself a front-end developer... I still coach IT-teams. I mainly develop 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. I use Storybook to visualise and document the 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. A couple of months before taking on a new adventure, 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 (without scaling, in comparison to the previous monolithic architecture).
