Summary
Complex IT projects of a larger scope are my field, where I can take on different roles: from (partial) project management to business process/requirements analysis and test management, or hands-on testing, I am active in different areas.
With now over 20 years of experience, I have seen most trends come and some go, so both classic waterfall projects and agile delivery models have crossed my path many times.
My approach to professional challenges is analytical and communicative, I like working in and on details and doing so closely with the experts on both the client and service provider side. A particular passion of mine is my ability to prepare and communicate complex topics in a way that is clear and easy to understand for a wide range of people.
