What I do



Where my passion lies


🏗️

Software engineer
Building stuff always has been my passion. When I was a kid I loved to build Lego, now I build software.
I am a freelance software engineer, specializing in the .net stack.
I have a lot of experience in several front-end frameworks, including React, Angular and Vue.
I have a lot of team leadership experience, as a software engineering manager and as a team lead.

Another passion is music, especially playing in bands.
I currently play in Soulid, a soul and funk cover band.
Holding the groove!

Coach
I have professional experience as a coach in leadership development, team development and personal development.
I am a certified trainer and have experience in coaching teams performing better by understanding each other, communicating better and having a lot of fun in the process.
I'd love to support you in your professional growth.

About me

I love to interact with people, to learn from them and to help them grow. I am a listener, a builder, forward mover.

Born in 1982, from a family of hard workers, I have always tried to be a hard worker myself. After finishing my study in 2004, I started working as a software engineer. After a few years I started to get interested in the human side of software development. That's when I came in contact with Hermonde and started the journey of becoming a certified trainer and coach.

I started playing electric guitar at age 15 and started playing bass guitar two years later. I continued both in countless bands. Eventually I just focused on holding the low end of the groove on bass guitar and double bass.

I live in Noordwijkerhout with my wife and two kids. 🥰
