01
Research new tools technologies
I love new and shiny things, working on the cutting edge, even on alpha’s or beta’s. Very early to adopt, the higher the challenge. This reflects in my profession that I love to research new tools and technologies. A project on the cutting edge of technology is right up my ally.
02
Setting up applications/environments from scratch
Green field applications, it is a rare breed, and there is always legacy. But when I’m designing a new application I love to discuss and research what application/solution setup is the best match for the customer.
03
Designing application frameworks
Most of the time it is not about one application, but multiple applications. That’s where I come in, designing shared application, tools, frameworks are what I have been doing since day 1.
04
Profiling and research existing application for better performance
Every time you deliver an application, you will run in to some performance issues in some layer of your application. Detecting and analyzing these problems has always been a specialty of mine. And by the years I’ve learned a lot of tools and techniques on how to investigate performance.
05
Deliverables are reached
If I’m working on a project, I tend to take the lead and make
sure that deliverables are reached
06
Javascript/Typescript
Although I started my career as a .NET developer, the past years I’ve focused also on javascript/typescript. Started like everyone with plain vanilla javascript but went from jquery and knockout to full blown frontend frameworks as VueJS & Angular. The past years most of my projects were balanced 50/50 in backend/frontend.
