About me
As an enthousiastic computer scientist, I will (almost) never avoid a challenge involving the computer. Because of this, I am broadly oriented within my field. I have pratical experience with back-end code, front-end code, softwarearchitecture, operational management and cloud infrastructure. In my spare time, I like to try new technologies and techniques to learn about the newest developments in my field.
Apart from the time I spent behind my computer screen, I try to swim at least one time a week. As part of a small club of enthousiastic swimmers we are always looking for new waters to swim in. In the summer, you can also find me in open water, like recreational waters. In the winter, I will try to be at the skipiste at least one a year.
Experience
Software and Site Reliability Engineer
Moneybird is the most automated accountancy application for entrepreneurs. In 2022, Moneybird became the first accountancy application with an integrated financial business account. This way, enterpreneurs are relieved from and provided in all their financial needs for their business.
Within Moneybird, I am part of a team of +/- 25 software engineers. As a software engineer, I help developing new functionality and maintain existing functionality and code.
Together with a subteam of software engineers, I am part of the Site Reliability Engineering team. This team is responsible for cloud-based infrastucture which hosts Moneybird. Within this team we work according to the Site Reliability Engineering principles, in which automation and ‘infrastructure as code’ are central parts.
Furthermore, I am responsible for several business processes in the area of operational management and continuity, which are annually audited as part of our ISO27001 certification.
Besides my responsibilities as software engineer and Site Reliability Engineer, I also coach some collegue’s from the software engineering team. Moreover, I regularly mentor higher education students during their internships and final theses. When possible, I also help the HR-team in their ongoing effort to find new collegues for the Software Engineering team.
Teaching assistant
Multidisciplinary job in which I assisted at practicals, supported the teaching team and contributed to educational improvements in the field of Computer Science. The job required me to work within a team and other people from different backgrounds.

Student Service Desk Employee
Veluws College Walterbosch is a high school (‘middelbare school’) part of the Veluwse Onderwijsgroep.
