I am a committed , solutions-oriented freelance application developer and project manager. What I can offer a company besides energy and motivation is creativity, structure, programming- and technical insights and good communicational skills. Trough my various teaching courses, I learned to get people up to speed with new technologies in a very short time.

My focus is on delivering software solutions and IT consultancy with a qualitative high standard, based on technologically well-founded and appropriate arguments, as well as advising managment in technological choices. Two key items in obtaining this goal are to look at different alternatives for solving problems and constantly keeping my technological knowledge up to date trough seminars, evaluating emerging technologies and self-study.
