My Story

As co-founder of the B2B e-commerce software company Activate your Business B.V., for the past 6 years, I have been responsible for strategic decision-making for complex, long-term and product-driven projects. In that time, under my leadership, Activate your Business B.V. has grown into a valued provider of custom software-as-a-service products. Earlier this year, I sold my stake in the company to my business partner, with whom I founded the company.

With 10+ years of experience as a UI/UX Designer & Frontend Developer, I am able to add value to your software products. In recent years, I have co-written multiple large-scale web-based applications for clients such as Karsten International B.V. (Top 10 Bol.com seller), Omnius and Forcome Co., Ltd.

I am happy to engage in a conversation to find out if we are a good fit for each other. Feel free to call or email me to discuss my profile or to make an appointment for an introduction.
