I have, with 13 years of experience, been working between development teams and customers in various roles. These range from Solutions Architect, Project Manager, Business Analyst and Developer. My focus lies in staged delivery of working software solutions, according to agile principles and test driven development. As a person, I am result-orientated, direct, persistent and am continuously looking for new ideas and concepts. I always strive to deliver better, more robust and cost-efficient solutions that support my client's business processes.
