Sjoerd is highly client driven and understands the merits of a problem both on a technical as well as a political level. If you want to find out which technical component or piece of functionality is creating a problem, find Sjoerd!
Bozhidar Bozhanov
Adequate project management is something priceless for a company. While I was working with Sjoerd, I was taking for granted all the best project management practices he utilized. Only later I realized that such nearly-flawless project management is a rare case in the software industry and therefore I strongly recommend Sjoerd as a manager who has adequate overview on what is going on and gently pushes the team to making things as close to perfect as possible.
