Summary

Complex, large-scale IT projects are my strong suit, where I can take on various roles: from (sub-)project management and business process/requirements analysis to test management or even hands-on testing, I'm active in different areas.

With over 20 years of experience, I've seen most trends come (and sometimes go), so I've worked on both classic waterfall projects and agile approaches on many occasions.

My approach to professional challenges is analytical and communicative; I enjoy working on details, closely with experts both on the client and service provider sides. A special passion of mine is the ability to clearly prepare and explain complex topics to diverse stakeholders.
