Education

Personal characteristics

I see myself as a senior software engineer who:I am a creative thinker and gifted with respect to nonverbal, visual andspatial intelligence. I beat most, often all, of my colleagues in programmingchallenges, such asAdvent of Code using plain C. I am great at finding and implementingalgorithm sometimes finding solutions that a hunderd times faster. I am theguy that find the cause of bugs that others could not find after searchingfor days or weeks.

Work experience

September 23, 2024 - Now: Senior software engineer atKITT Engineering

I am developing embedded software in C. This includes developing a customHardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for a number of peripherals including I2C atthe level of reading and writing to hardware registers. The work includesstudying data sheets for sensors and actuators.

October 2019 - April 2024: Senior software engineer atBond3D

Worked on the development of the Bond3D Slicer in C# in close cooperation withother departments. Also fullfilled the role of product owner, keeping contactwith other department, priotizing issues, and support other software engineersin solving the issues. Developend domain knowledge of printing withPolyether etherketone (PEEK).

The Bond3D Slicer takes as input a 3D model (in the form ofSTL files) and slices this into slices with a given thickness, generatepaths according to settings, determine a sorting order for the paths,connecting them with travel movements, and generateG-code that is ready to besent to the printer for printing the parts. I developed several algorithms toimprove printing and slicer performance (a few with a factor of more thanhunderd).

Because of the experimental nature of the Bond3D Slicer, it has large number ofsettings, which often interact with each other. I also developed a repositoryto store and manage settings and device definitions. This repository wasimplemented with a REST based interface with a webserver executing storedprocedures in aMicrosoft SQL Server database.

For the slicer settings, I maintained the wiki with the documentation of allthe settings and their possible interactions. In doing so, I became the expertwith respect to these settings.

(I left Bond3D on my own accord because in the last year management wanted torevert from CI/CD tothe waterfall model of software development and because of organizationalchanges that I am not allowed to disclose at the moment and.)

October 2018 - October 2019: Senior software engineer atADLINK Hengelo

Worked on the development of anIDL compiler forEclipse CycloneDDSin C.My commits to the project. Also worked on documentation for Vortex Lite.Gained experience with cmake, Doxygen and Sphinx.

(After one year, I decided not to continue my contract because work on the opensource CycloneDDS project did not match well with the other commercialactivities.)

April 2002 - October 2018: Software engineer atBiZZdesign B.V.

At BiZZdesign I worked on the development of the BiZZdesign Architectapplications for respectively modeling business processes and enterprisearchitecture according to theArchiMate methodology. These applications are developed in C++ with VisualStudio 2008. Among other things, I worked on the development of:

(I left the company on my own accord, looking for a new challenge.)

July 2001 - March 2002: Senior software engineer at TLI B.V.

Telic makes an ERP application based on software generation. Further developedclient application in Visual Studio C++ with OBDC, OleDB, and COM.

(Contract was terminated due to bankruptcy.)

April 1999 - July 2001: Software system designer at Philips Analytical B.V.

In my position I have been very closely involved in the development of theSuperQ application, which is used for all high-end X-ray fluorescencespectrometers, for which Philips Analytical (nowMalvern Panalytical) is the global market leader. The package isimplemented in Visual Basic 6.0 and consists of several COM servers and MDIprograms running in parallel.

(I left the company on my own accord for a job closer to home.)

September 1997 - April 1999: Software engineer at Tecnomatix B.V.

The work concerned the further development of the PART application in C++, SQL(Oracle), ACIS and X-windows (Motif). Technomatix is nowpart of Siemens.

June 1994 - September 1997: Research assistant atthe ESPRIT project TransCoop at the University of Twente

In cooperation with GMD from Germany and VTT from Finland. The projectinvestigated cooperative transaction models and the specification ofcooperative scenarios. I have been involved in Work Package 2: "Analysis ofselected applications" and Work Package 4: "Design of the specificationlanguage". The specification language is based on process algebraic languageLOTOS and the database specification language TM.A compiler was developed in C++ for this specification language and asimulation environment including Java.

January 1990 - June 1994: System analyst/programmer at Seki-Riesewijk B.V.

Working as software developer for various applications developed using C. Themain activities concerned the development of a multi-user database system forthe storage and selection of graphic data (in the AutoCAD format) and severalcouplings with AutoCAD.

March 1986 - March 1988: Employee at University Twente

Worked as an education employee (MOW) and as a research employee (MOZ), at thedepartment of Theoretical Computer Science and Formula Manipulation (TIF). Theteaching task consisted of giving introductory programming lessons in PASCALand supervising students with their graduation assignment. The research wascarried out at the translator construction group and consisted of developingand documenting a component of a compiler-compiler. See:Documentation and Source of the AAPT-Evaluator Generator. (Part of thiswork also formed the basis ofSLADE.)

Summary of experience and skills

Working conditions

At the moment, I am not open for a new work position.

As an older software engineer, I notice that I have different needs thanyounger software engineers. My requirements are mainly in the area of workingconditions, an optimal work-life balance for me, and less in financial rewardand many days off.

I am especially motivated when I can help others with my efforts or help themsolve their problems. I like short lines of communication with the users ofthe software I develop.

I like working in a team, but I also like autonomy with regard to what I workon. I do not cope well with a manager interfering too much with the content ofwhat I have to work on, but a 'product owner' who tells me which issues havethe highest priority, so that I can judge for myself what I can best work on.(I quickly feel responsible and tend to take on too many subjects rather thantoo few.) I like to be able to occasionally spar about my work with someonewho is not substantively involved in my work.

I am a supporter of theManifesto forAgile Software Development. I also like to focus on indicators foreffective software development as, for example, determined byDevOps Research and Assessment (DORA). I prefer a more chaoticdevelopment method over a very structured method (such as Scrum) with manyadministrative steps. I am also not convinced of the usefulness of a dailystand-up meeting. Maintaining documentation for the users is a natural part ofthe development process, but documenting the development process itself isusually a waste of time. I have noticed that I function best when I can workan average of six hours a day. I find it difficult to be present for pay. I amusually present from 10 to 5 (also half past 5) when I work in the office. Ialso like to work half a day from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But it alsohappens that I spend them on the weekend or in the evening if I have an issuethat I can solve so that the end users can use it the next day. I have no needfor vacations that last longer than a week. I do like to take a day off everynow and then. I usually have trouble using up my vacation days. I prefer aworkweek of between 24 and 30 hours.

I am not someone who actively exercises (besides taking walks), but I reallyappreciate the exercise of cycling to work. The maximum cycling distance forme is half an hour (one way to the office). That is why I have a strongpreference for working in Enschede when it is required to be in the officemore than a few days per week.
