about me

The best thing in the world is starting with a blank page, being able to create everything imaginable.

Since I was young I am a creator. Always building, phisical or digital.

The Nature of Software Development: From Tribal to Automation 23 May 2023

work experience

Here I post my most relevant workexpirience.

work

Alletha B.V.

2011 - ongoing

Alletha is a small software development company. However we do custom projects, we are most prominent with our own product HRvan.nu. Which is a human resource tool for small to large companies. This tool is build modular, so a customer is billed only for the tools the customer uses. We are always developing and improving tools.

I am one of the lead developers at Alletha. I carry huge responsabilities in development, both front end and back end, support and customer contact. I am also included in the software design. I am free to do huge parts of the implementations my way, given it is understandable and documented for next generations.

The part I like about my current job is the fact that I have a great deal of freedom adjenct to a great deal of responsibility.

Airlangga University Unair

2009 - 2010

I followed my internship for my highschool (SintLucas) in Surabaya, Indonesia. My internship had a timespan of a year and we were encouraged to go abroad. I choose to go to Indonesia. I worked in an enviroment which is totally different than one you will find in Europe.

This is the year that I learned how to program. I developed an interactive website for the faculty of psychology. After the project was finished I worked on a portal where students could find their homework and hand it in.

study

I have followed multiple sudies. Here is an overview ordered by incresing level.

Maastricht School of Management Executive MBA

2022 - ongoing

The decision to apply for an Executive MBA is based on the fact that I got more interested in the business side. This caused me to formulate my ambition, which is to become a leader at the C-level.

projects

Here I post a small selection of the projects I am most proud of.

projects

Timesheet registration HRvan.nu

  • HTML5 & CSS3
  • Javascript (jQuery)
  • PHP
  • SQL
  • AJAX

HRvan.nu is a cloud application that serves Human Resource Departments for its customers. The application is used for a administrative and automation purposes. HRvan.nu is served by Alletha B.V., my employer.

As lead on the project I developed timesheets as a module for HRvan.nu. Employees can register their hours on projects and activities. Leaders can accept and decline. HR can lock periods with hours. The worked hours are then used for billing or salary administration, or both. The module can be automated to great extend. It has implementations for external clocks, integrations with leave, sickness and the planning modules within HRvan.nu and can be connected to external APIs for billing and salary administration. The degree of human interference is configurable from very limited to very manual.

The module is still actively developed and improved. I still play a large role in the development.

This module had great impact on HRvan.nu and Alletha B.V. The timesheet module has roughly 5000 daily active users. 50% of new customers use the module and about 80% of new customers show interest or even order the module. It is one aspect of the unique position of HRvan.nu in the market.

Automated Deployments Deploymenttool

  • Javascript (React)
  • HTML5 & CSS3
  • APIs
  • PHP
  • SQL

The Deploymenttool is a application that runs on the server that oversees automated deployments of various cloud applications. The input comes from various website forms and has its own management GUI.

After the initial release I took over the project and continued its development. I improved the application in many areas: speed, efficiency, extendibility are some if them. Further I implemented new features as the need grew. I am the sole creator of the management GUI using React.

The application saves a lot of time for the employees of Alletha B.V. due to automation. It can run with minimal interference, although employees can take control of many aspects using the management GUI.

hobbies

What can I say? I am a creator!

hobbies

Passionate programming

I love studying new languages and techniques. I tinker with projects in the wee small hours of the morning.

Cooking

I love good food, therefore I love to cook. I love the freedom to use spices and ingredients.

DIY furniture

If I don't find it the way I want it, I make it. This drive is extended to some of the furniture in and around my house.
