About me

I am a software engineer for products of AquaSuite at HaskoningDHV. I started making software since 2017. I focus on making software with data analysis for the water sector. My main goals:

• Indexable references of note-to-selfs.
• Further digest and solidify stuff I learned.
• Appreciate personal progress.
• Personalize learned techniques and concepts by making my thinking more explicit.

Software developer @ Aquasuite

2020
.NET, C#, Azure, TypeScript, Angular

My passion for software development grew, I wanted to move to a product team, where I could focus on one product and be more exposed to seniors developers. I joined the team of AquaSuite. This is where we write software for the drinking and waste water industry. My contribution is focussed on the development of a scalable application for time series analysis in the water sector.

Geo ICT @ WaterManagement HaskoningDHV

2017-2020
Python, SQL, Django, Postgres, PostGIS, ArcGIS, JS

Just before this job I took a few months off to learn Python and focussed on data analysis. As I could show my new acquired skills, I could begin as a Geo ICT’er. During these 3 years I was exposed to several applications and software teams. To name a few:

• Water Management Group: Post processing of 3D groundwater and surface models
• Nationale Regen Radar: Calibration of rainfall raders and measurements
• Nereda: Parametric design of water treatment plants
• BlueLabel: Calculate labels for the risk on water damage for the build environment

Drinking water engineer

2014-2017
Python, SQL

For three years, I worked at Vitens Evides International. I was located in Bangladesh, one of my favorite countries. The continuing battle against water made it a facinating country to be part of. It drains most of the Himalayas and therefore is this huge deltic area, with all its riverine systems.

During my time there I mainly supported the drinking water utility, Dhaka WASA. My role was threefold:

• Guide the implemenation and operations of a simple SCADA system
• Support the geo information department with tools and training
• Provide low income communities with improved sanitation and drinking water services

Civil Engineering and GeoSciences

2009-2014
Matlab, Fortran

As a young boy I was interested in the water sector and building stuff. My interest for the water sector originated from spending a lot of time on the water with my grandparents. It made sense study Civil Engineering and I mastered in Utrecht on the track Coastal Dyanmics and Fluvial Systems afterwards. During my study I was drawn to fiddling with data, new software packages and automation.
