I worked in a scrum platform team with as goal to improve an existing platform (DWP) used internally by KvK employees to view, track and apply changes to underlying registry systems. This new platform was created to phase out a number of older, no longer maintained applications and to unify those in once place. 
In this platform team, I:
- urgently proposed and oversaw implementing feature deployments to relieve the acceptance environment from being abused for team feature testing. This was heavily impeding the weekly release process and required error-prone, painstaking, manual version control modifications.
- strongly moved for a revision of frontend-backend architecture to remove responsibilities and business-logic from the frontend, leading to a proof-of-concept with an experience API for a new team joining the platform and to architects and back-enders carrying the philosophy behind experience APIs (or the more general philosophy, backend-for-frontend).
- helped initiate and create a multi-stage improvement plan, exploded into JIRA epics and stories, for improvements to the frontend, best-practices, organisation and collaboration.
- created a specific Frontend Developers teams channel and kickstarted an optional, recurring "guild" meeting for frontend developers to communicate changes, findings, promote Q&A, building a sense of collective ownership and foster knowledge exchange.
- implemented repository tooling to improve code-quality, dependency-separation
- performed Angular upgrades
- promoted using Renovate for automated dependency upgrades
- cleaned up unit-tests, communicated caveats, built a pipeline job to help detect flaky unit-tests
- proposed to use templates for stories and contributed to- and maintained these templates over time
- moved to use Angular Material and atomic design
- built a number of generic components
- helped frontenders from contributing teams
- explained technical improvements in layman's terms using diagrams in Sprint Reviews

Senior Frontend Developer

The green shepherd

As a freelancer I continue to enjoy building robust software and to help frontend teams deliver faster and with more confidence. In this capacity I’ve worked for: Athora, KvK.

Freelance Frontend Developer

Athora Netherlands

Investigated the steps required to migrate a legacy angularJs application. Contributed to work on a new Angular application and built small additions to the legacy AngularJs application. Learned to work with NX workspace, Windows subsystem for Linux (WSL2) and Azure DevOps.

CarePay

At Carepay I've enjoyed working for a great company with the social-economic mission to improve healthcare in three major African countries. During my time here, I've worked on features for three different teams in the Angular frontend codebase, worked on some platform improvements (among others an app-wide default error-handling mechanism consuming both legacy backend errors and newer problemJSON responses, and adding lint-staged to improve code-quality at pre-commit time), participated in support duties, built internal tools using Retool to automate time-consuming support processes and discovered (during Covid-19) that working from home abroad with valued colleagues acts as a gigantic stress relief, productivity boost and motivator.

Frontend Developer

CODEZILLA

Having helped start the second unit of frontend developers within CodeZilla was a great experience and brought me experience in conducting job interviews. Regular knowledge sharing sessions, cool company events (some even during covid, when it was possible), great colleagues with a lot of frontend knowledge and humour, having the opportunity to work at a comfortable and spacious new shared office in Utrecht and in general a friendly and amicable ambiance all contributed to a great time working at CodeZilla.

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

Working in the BlueWeb Search team - which was responsible for building and maintaining the search component of KLM's online ticket-sales web application - taught me what working in a fast-paced, highly agile, super-coöperative team with a lot of responsibilities is like. I enjoyed learning a lot from smart and able colleagues both within my own team and in the BlueWeb team at large. 
I briefly took over a small part of the information-analysis responsibilities of a colleague that left, and I got the chance to not only work with GraphQL in the front- and backend, but also be part of a small 'taskforce' to refactor a set of overcomplicated frontend components and implement GraphQL caching using readQuery and readFragment at the same time, greatly reducing these components' complexities.

ZIVVER

Working here as a (medior) frontend developer learning much from the professional development environment (CI / CD), fellow software developers with a razor sharp eye for security, clean code and code architecture. I worked on two separate projects within ZIVVER: the main web application (https://app.zivver.com) and a smartphone app TeleDE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ6y2hhPXOQ)

bbn adviseurs

Inhouse web application development. Worked together with 3 other full-stack developers in a really cozy and great team of 4 in which we all felt a great sense of team effort. Ever since working with PHP years ago, learning to work with Node.js / Express was a refresher but also very useful to pick up again. I worked on 2 internal projects here: vastgoedmaps.nl (listed under projects) and a second, new project, which is still undisclosed. During the last project I learned to work professionally with AngularJs which I really enjoyed.

Junior Fullstack Developer

Xomnia B.V.

learning Java while helping with data analysis and prediction projects during the summer of 2014

Junior Data Scientist

Booreiland

I did my graduation project at Booreiland, a platform for creative  productions that 'engages' in the internet of things, by trying new projects in this area and by having written a book about it called 'Metaproducs'. I created an iPad app prototype together with an arduino solution for a (physical) tennis traning device. The main focus for me was the technical part of the prototype, programming, hardware (electronic) prototyping and the communication between the two. I learned a great deal from this project.

Graduation student

Polyglot software developer (not specifically bound to any specific language) with a passion for building frontend applications with great user experiences with Angular. 
15 years of experience in IT, of which 8 building large web applications. 
I enjoy doing things that multiply others: improving frontend architecture, code-quality, tooling, processes, community-building, sharing knowledge, documenting, helping others and helping where needed.
I'm always interested in - yet skeptical of - the new and shiny within frontend development.
UX, UI and specifically UI animation and smooth interfaces (transitional interfaces) have my interest. 
E-security 🔐, privacy (GDPR) 🕶 and owning my own data 📫 are important to me.
In my private life I spend a lot of time working out in preparation of chasing outdoor sports goals and I try to live a more sustainable life 🌍🍃☃
