CompetencesIn the past years, I have gained extensive experience in IT Design and Development, with a strong emphasis on backend aspects like interfaces, data storage, data transformation, (business) process monitoring and control. The tools used are Java, Databases (Oracle, Teradata) and Middleware (TIBCO Business Works, WebMethods BPM and IBM Websphere Datapower). I am very creative and always capable of inventing new and original solutions for complex problems, while meeting cost & quality constraints. AmbitionMy main interest in IT is the possibility for one person to have hands-on involvement in the entire development cycle. Often, I get the possibility to advice our clients during the requirements definition phase of a project on the best (and most cost effective) solution. Later, I get to do the design and the implementation of these projects. To me, this involvement during all phases of the development life cycle keeps the job interesting. In the future, I would like to focus more on the overall architecture of IT landscapes, because I believe that a lot of efficiency-gain and cost reduction can be achieved by optimising the way, in which IT Systems cooperate.
