Originally born in Austria I emigrated to the Netherlands at the age of 19. Here I learnt Dutch and acquired a diploma of Lifestyle Informatics at the Free University of Amsterdam (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam). Hereafter I was instantly and enthusiastically applying my newly gained knowledge for my first employer.

My greatest strengths are my empathy, pro-active attitude and my ability to think outside the box.  When working for a client it is of the utmost importance to me to deliver user-friendly solutions. I do not hesitate to take deep dives into various subject matters to get to the root of a problem a client might be facing. Thus far most of my experience has been in small to medium sized companies. Most of my expertise is centred around data analysis, data cleaning, data engineering, data visualisation and the automation of data processes. Most recently I have been developing my data prediction skills, predominantly focusing on machine learning.

As an IT business analyst, I clearly write down user requirements and translate them into IT solution directions. I am currently doing this at Tata Steel in Velsen-Noord. Understanding both the business processes and the IT environment is of great importance.

In this complex and rapidly changing world of steel making, outsourcing, and old IT systems, I am often involved in providing insight into the desired functional change within the playing field of business and IT. I do this by making simple pictures, clearly writing down user wishes and discussing the problem with all relevant stakeholders.

I have broad experience with business processes, product innovation, quality management and complex IT changes. I like to keep an overview in the hectic pace and enjoy coaching and motivating colleagues.

I studied Economy with as specialism Computing Science. I have more than 20 years of experience in IT working in the Telecoms and Internet sector.

I have a lot of experience working in projects. This experience is both in small projects as big and complex projects. I have performed roles in practically every aspect of IT development. E.g. defining requirements and specifications, organising and implementing supplier selections and fulfilling  “demand management” towards IT organisations for development and implementation.

I have in-depth experience (both national as international) with billing environments, from usage processing to invoice layout and production.

In my previous job as Project Portfolio Manager at XS4ALL, I was responsible for translating business priorities into an IT project development calendar and for the management of that development calendar.

I am a Business Consultant that can be asked for both ICT subject matter roles as well as ICT management roles with respect to development. My drive and passion is to develop innovative IT results that are important for the client. I like to take the role of catalyst and brainstorm partner  for both business as ICT.  In that role I think from both sides how to get optimal results. I follow up by realising the mutually agreed target working according to the mutually agreed method.

I am an experienced IT professional who is analytical and pragmatic, wants to create and maintain a solid foundation, has an eye for the interests of the customer, and wants to leave an appropriate and lasting result.

I am able to quickly understand the IT landscape, and can build a bridge between various IT stakeholders (developers, infrastructure engineers, risk parties, business partners). I oversee the larger picture, can analyze the preconditions from my knowledge and experience and can then transform application management from static (reactive) to dynamic (proactive).

I have worked as project manager and OPS engineer in both “classic” waterfall / ITIL environments and in Agile / Scrum environments in multidisciplinary teams. I have worked in internet banking and webshop environments.
