Despite being a self-proclaimed tech nerd, I never got around to building a personal website -until now. And yes, I firmly believe that clean, minimalist designs (think white backgrounds and black Times New Roman fonts) should dominate the web.
A bit about me: I'm forever "just over 39" and hold a degree in IT & Economics from Erasmus University in Rotterdam. My career began in the dynamic world of digital agencies, where I started as a consultant in The Netherlands before founding my own agency.
For 13 wonderful years, I had the privilege of leading a talented team of developers, designers, and marketers, creating websites and web applications that made a difference. However, as life unfolded -with the arrival of my two amazing daughters and the inevitable shift in priorities that comes with age- I decided it was time for a new challenge.
Today, I work as an Investment Manager at the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland, or RVO) on the Innovatiekrediet team. This role allows me to combine my expertise in software development and artificial intelligence with a passion for innovation, as I support startups navigating their unique challenges.
Outside of work, you'll often find me indulging in my favorite pastime: long-distance running. There's nothing more therapeutic than lacing up my running shoes, popping on some headphones, and heading out for a peaceful Sunday morning run.
