I've been working closely with Niek on multiple AR projects and his knowledge and capabilities are staggering. From back-end architecture to Unity development of AR UI/UX, Niek is a on-man-army capable of tackling every aspect of a project while making sure it's future-proof and easy to maintain. On top of that, Niek is a great team-player, uplifting any development team he's brought in, allowing all to tap into his great wealth of knowledge. There are good contributors, and there are GREAT contributors, like Niek.
