I am the co-founder and CTO of Xpirit, a high end consulting firm based in Hilversum, Netherlands.

I co-founded Xpirit in 2014 as a spin off from Xebia Netherlands. Together with Xebia we help customers with Digital Transformation, Agile Consulting and Full Stack development with both Microsoft and open source products.

I spend most of my time looking at how new emerging technologies, a shift in mindset and a new way of work, can help organizations get software in production faster. Helping organizations transform towards a high speed, innovative and productive organization has become my passion. I love to learn new technologies and teach others what I have learned. Besides my work as CTO I also work as a consultant in the field of Application Lifecycle Management, Continuous Delivery, DevOps, Cloud/Web scale application architectures and Cross platform Enterprise Mobile app development with Xamarin.

I am a frequent speaker at leading industry conferences. I have delivered sessions at events like Microsoft TechEd, Microsoft //Build, Microsoft TechDays, Visual Studio Live!, Devintersection, Xebicon, and Techorama . I host several meetups in my region on Microsoft Azure, Xamarinand ALM. In my spare time I am also an author of online courses at Pluralsight.

I have been awarded by Microsoft the Microsoft ALM MVP award for 11 consecutive years and I am a Microsoft Regional Director since 2008.
