Work experience

March 2019–Present: GoatCounter

Founder of GoatCounter, an open source privacy-friendly web analytics platform. It aims to offer easy to use and meaningful privacy-friendly web analytics as an alternative to Google Analytics or Matomo.

May 2016–March 2019: Teamwork.com

Worked on Teamwork Desk, an email based helpdesk system. I programmed the API and email processing in Go and some frontend in CoffeeScript and Knockout.js.
Took the lead for various projects: an OpenAPI documentation solution, CI/CD solution, internal godoc system, dev-env in Vagrant and later Docker.
In June 2018 I transferred to the Platform Team to take the lead creating company-wide technical standards, working with all five product teams.

Mar 2014–Oct 2015: LICO

I took the lead on two projects for our customers: De Woningbeheerder – a management solution for house owners, brokers, and tenants – and Buzz – an email-based support app. Both are Ruby on Rails applications and extensively tested with rspec. I also jumped in on other Rails projects when needed.

Apr 2013–Dec 2013: AuguSoft

I added a CMS interface to VillaXL, a website to rent holiday homes. This involved updating and modernizing the internally developed PHP framework and writing a corresponding frontend with CoffeeScript and jQuery. I also worked on miscellaneous features and bugfixes for VillaXL and occasionally helped out on other projects.

Nov 2011–Apr 2013: Jibr

Designed and implemented WeRemind, an agenda application with automatic reminders via email or phone. This was a new application in Python and web.py. I also set up and managed the CentOS hosting environment.

Worked on various PHP/Zend Framework applications and hosting for then, including email hosting.

Jul 2008–Oct 2011: Aragorn

I initially started out as a repair technician for desktops and servers and took the initiative to write several Python tools to make this easier.

I worked on maintaining and expanding the intranet full-time for about a year. I expanded the intranet with new features and tools, integrated it with Exact Globe (the ERP and accounting package), created a new website with a Webshop, and did the server management.
