Bridge between culture,
business & tech.
I'm a software developer from the Netherlands who moved to Japan and never looked back. Over the years I've grown from writing code to leading engineering teams, always with the same drive: understand deeply, improve continuously.
As Engineering Manager at HomeQgo, I lead multiple fully remote teams building sustainable energy solutions for the Dutch housing market. Thousands of kilometers away, yet my teams ship, learn, and grow together every sprint.
I see myself as the bridge between culture, business, and technology, not because it sounds good, but because it's where I can make the biggest impact. Translating between worlds. Helping people understand each other better.
Leading distributed engineering teams to build meaningful, sustainable products. At HomeQgo I bridge the gap between business goals and technical delivery by being remote-first, outcome-driven, people-centered.
Hosting Study Sessions for OKTech, Kansai's largest English-speaking tech community. Learning together about tech in an interactive way with small groups, relevant topics, and hands-on learning.
While continuously trying to improve myself, I discovered that helping others is more effective and more fun. Every workshop, every code review, every mentoring session raises the quality bar for the entire team, including me.
As a Study Session host at OKTech, I bring software engineering fundamentals to Kansai's largest English-speaking tech community. The workshops cover architectural patterns, engineering practices, and hands-on exercises, the kind of depth that turns "I've heard of it" into "I can actually use it.".
