I really like the concrete and visible benefits of the things I build. A lot of the tasks that I spend my time on as a data engineer are things like cleaning up data and ensuring that data is available when needed. This is something that a lot of organisations already do, but far too often it has to happen manually. This costs many people many hours of boring work each week, such as moving excel-documents or cleaning up data. The things I build allow passionate professionals to spend their time on the things they care about.

I am proud of all the small and big steps me and my colleagues take every day in order to help our customers digitize their business, innovate and see how all of that has an impact on consumer’s day-to-day life. Next to that, I am proud of the impact I have on Devoteam as an organization through my involvement in MuleSoft Community, Integration Community, Devoteam Ambassadorship and Leadership training.

There is so much to learn in IT. So many problems to solve, systems to understand and I love figuring out how it all comes together in applications. I’m really excited about all the new tools I’m going to learn in the future, solutions I’m going to build, and certifications I’m looking to achieve. But most of all, I feel blessed to wake up every day with a job that energizes me.

In addition, I am proud of the way in which we continuously underline the team spirit, but also continue to pay attention to each individual. This working method, in combination with the knowledge we have in house, also wins the trust of our customers, resulting in beautiful and challenging projects.

I have a background in Business and before that I had no experience in IT. My greatest achievement is that during the traineeship I pick things up faster than I expected!
