I'm an experienced app developer and tech lead with a passion for exploring the ways mobile technologies can change our lives for the better. I've a keen eye for design and think apps should be beautiful inside and out.
I'm part of the News, Stocks and Weather team at Apple. Previously I was the iOS tech lead at Marktplaats, the leading classifieds site in the Netherlands and part of the eBay family. Before that, I lived for six years in China, where I co-founded (and now direct) trainchinese, a powerful set of apps for mastering Mandarin Chinese.
My skillset includes:
- Designing and engineering mobile apps for iOS and Android, natively and cross-platform with Flutter
- Hiring and coaching developers to get the most out of their precious skills, and with maximum enjoyment
- Architecting Continuous Integration with Jenkins
- Machine learning theory and practice with CoreML
- I'm fluent in UX and know my way around Sketch
- I speak conversational Mandarin Chinese and a smattering of Dutch
