New Opportunities TL;DR

I'm open to new opportunities to work with great companies or startups. This page lists the key factors that I would likely be looking for in any new opportunity. In any case, feel free to reach out to discuss what you're thinking about.

What I'm good at

I build effective engineering teams. I can help your company if you have a starting team that needs some help building their processes, or an existing team that has grown beyond its current capabilities and started slowing down. Or other similar scenario's like creating more reliable delivery of value.

I'm happy to write some code -- still do as a hobby! -- and can build solid systems, but it's not the primary point of leverage: I do most of my work through people. Understanding engineers needs & goals, aligning teams and individuals to business goals, and guiding & coaching.

Wondering what I accomplished for previous employers? Read my most recent CV.

What I'm looking for

• Smaller companies that experience rapid growth, either setting up their first engineering team or scaling the existing team. Usually < 300 people.
• Working with strong product leaders.
• Engineering manager or engineering director roles, or could act as CTO for smaller startups. If your open position is called "lead developer", it likely isn't a match.
• Hybrid or fully remote. I live in Delft, Netherlands (Europe/Amsterdam timezone). No 100% in-office setups.
• Open to freelance roles.
• No crypto, online gambling or anything that would be considered illegal in the Netherlands.
