Bio
Joric Koghee
For one and a half year I worked with Thomas in the SCRUM team at Simyo. I got to know him as a very hard working, motivated iOS developer. Together with Thomas we worked on many challenging projects of which some were brand new for Simyo and the Netherlands. One example is e-SIM for which we had multiple sessions to combine the two worlds of design and development for something completely new. This shows the strength of Thomas, a sharp eye within a team to keep everyone at their best. Besides being a real team player and hard worker, Thomas is also a super nice social guy to have a good laugh with! Would recommend to any team or organization looking for a good boundary breaking iOS developer.

I've worked alongside Thomas for 3 years now. During this time, Thomas has consistently proven himself, besides being a great senior IOS developer, to also be a very agile minded team player. Always inspecting and adapting not only the solutions and the code but also the way of working and processes and being able to communicate his honest opinion professionally and tactically. Thomas is one of the people that helped me see what it truly means to think and act agile and for that, I will forever be grateful. The projects and ideas he has delivered have been critical to the company, as well as the team's development and growth. This mix of knowledge, professionalism, productivity, and care is why I liked working with Thomas and why I respect him a lot. In my opinion, Thomas is a huge asset to every team or organization and therefore he deserves my sincere recommendation.
