About my expertise
I have studied computer science in the Netherlands. I graduated in 1995, specializing in software quality at the Software Engineering Research Center.
After graduation, I worked at several companies, most notably Unisys, where I was a C programmer, working on a 500,000 line system in a professional team of 50 programmers.
After a while I felt I wanted something else and moved to teaching by leading training sessions for companies. I specialized in web development and Microsoft products. I also became a Microsoft certified solution developer and a Microsoft certified trainer.
On Aruba I found a new career teaching technical computer skills to students at EPI, while also doing projects for BlueKoala.
