Profile

As an enthusiastic agile propagator I am highly motivated to help teams get the best out of themselves. I have experience in most facets of the software development cycle: from vision, project approach, team selection, to designing, developing and testing software. In recent years my interest in agile software development has grown, and I have participated in projects as team lead, Scrum Master and currently Agile Coach. My academic background combined with my industry experience makes it easy for me to switch between theory and practice. I have the ambition to keep expanding my knowledge of software development, and to apply this in my daily work.

Currently, I am working on various things:

My PhD on architectural decisions in software development (see also publications).

Agile Coach at Factlink and Crop-R.

Lecturing the Software Requirements course at the University of Groningen.

Involved in several product initiatives:

Organizing your bookshelf online: Papery.co.
GimmeGimme, a site for whish-lists (Dutch verlanglijstje).
A site that helps you find the right presents: Giftcoach.
