I have initiated many changes throughout my career, I have for example lived and worked in Holland (duh I am Dutch, so yeah), Norway and Australia. I have worked as a consultant going to clients, and I have worked in-house doing product development. I have even been working as a responsible person for designing and implementing large scale systems using the companies existing building blocks without daily coding.

People tell me that I have been lucky to have been able to do all of these things, but it is not luck, it is about embracing the opportunities that come along in life. All of these changes came from nice opportunities that later proved the be great. But it takes faith and trusting your instincts, and yeah a big leap of faith.

Well that time has come again, I am going to take a leap of faith:

I am going to be working for myself. This is been something that has been on my mind for a very long time, and I feel that now is the time to do it. I am actively initiating change.

I eventually want to be asked to initiate change in your development teams, helping them improve their skills and processes. I am a strong believer of continuous improvement, or kaizen and I have always enjoyed teaching others and seeing them just suddenly ‘get it’.

Another thing I will be doing is just delivering quality software, whatever is needed. I enjoy writing software immensely and that is something that won’t ever change.

So if you are in need of a person that is able to do any of the above mentioned things then I can be your man. Don’t hesitate to contact me on my e-mail Mark.Nijhof@Gmail.com or on my phone: 0047 95 00 99 37.
