• Software Engineer

  • Aug 2007 - Mar 2010

  Fourtress is a software consulting firm, which has customers all over the Eindhoven area. During my time with Fourtress, I started with the design of a home-automation project, which colleagues used later on as a basis to develop a working prototype within the new (October 2007) Fourtress office. Shortly after this initial project, I was hired to Mapscape BV (former Siemens VDO), where I stayed until April 2010, when I eventually joined the company. Within Fourtess, I also had the opportunity to take some high-rated courses in personal development and communication skills, which helped me a lot to develop my professional position within my job at Mapscape and to create a solid basis for my future career.
