Creating great software and happy, productive teams

About me

I'm a software executive at a large financial firm. I love technology and working with people to build great systems -- and keep them running.

I started my career as a Java software developer and I've been managing software teams since 2004. My teams and I oversee the performance and stability of large digital channels.

I grew up in the Netherlands and immigrated to the United States for work and adventure. I'm married to Sasha and we have three children: Nora, Leo and Adrian.

Technology I love

  • High performance systems: In my current job there's a strong emphasis on high scalability, availability and security. My teams are distributed around the US and globally.
  • Observability: At Raritan, I created a power management appliance that generated multi-million dollar revenues. Software stack was ExtJS, Ruby on Rails, Java, Postgress and CentOS
  • Drupal: I've been a Drupal enthousiast for many years.

Random facts

I was quoted in The Economist and my site was posted on Slashdot. I'm a sporadic contributor to Dutch national radio. I speak English and Dutch fluently, and pretty decent German, French and Bulgarian. I'm by no means an athlete but over the past 10 years I ran an average of 1.02 miles per day. I founded Dutch in America.com (now dormant) which has more than 6k fans on Facebook.
