Now

My “Now” page shows my current work and affiliations, my calendar of events, and my reading list. (See the acknowledgements for the idea of a “now page”.)

Work and affiliations

Since August 2024, I work part-time (3 days per week) as a teacher/coach for the Associate Degree Software Development (only in Dutch), at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (Hogeschool van Amsterdam)

  • The Associate Degree is a two-year programme, and our focus is on the domain of (back end) software development. We train students at level 2 (level 3 is bachelor, level 4 is master).
  • We apply self-regulated learning in a practical setting: we emulate a realistic working environment, and coach our students to become professionals with a good understanding of the scrum process, and the ability to manage their own professional development.

I also work in projects, such as: developing data management features for a web application in Ruby on Rails, advising on an AI platform around civic engagement, and researching requirements for a complex online procurement platform.

I am open for new projects and positions around civic society!

  • Transparency and accountability: open data, open collaboration.
  • Governance and ethics: AI, social media.
  • Coaching and training: empowerment, skills, tools, and thinking.

My current professional affiliations (unpaid):

And my main personal affiliation:

  • Active tour leader, organiser, and honorary (and former board) member at KV Zeeburg, my kayaking club, with a focus on online collaboration within the club.
