Freelance Developer | Certified Sitecore Developer | MS Certified Solutions Developer
I'm a passionate C# .NET developer who loves his job. I'm constantly looking for ways to improve myself on both personal and technical fronts, and trying to keep up with the latest in techniques and certifications.
Since my graduation in February 2011, I have been working with several .NET-based techniques like DotNetNuke, WPF, MVC and Sitecore. Focussing mainly on web development, I enjoy working with Sitecore most for it's endless possibilities and versatility.
To keep my knowledge up to date I've taken several Microsoft exams. This has resulted in being a Certified Ethical Hacker, Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer and a Sitecore Certified developer.
Having worked alone and in several (multi disciplined) scrum teams, I prefer working in teams because sharing knowledge leads to better products and new insights, and I feel that you can learn something new everyday, as long as you're surrounded with experts who are willing to learn.

Furthermore I've pushed the team and the business to focus on improving the Experience Editor, as content should be done by marketeers, and not developers.
I've rejoined theFactor.e for a "best value procurement" project for migrating the website of the RDW from Sitecore 8 to Sitecore 10.1.

The goal of the project is an user-friendly, easily maintainable and future proof Sitecore platform. The project had several audits by Sitecore.
I've rejoined the ENGIE team to help upgrade their current Sitecore 7.2 project to the latest Sitecore 9.3 version.
