Senior .NET Developer & Support Engineer

Profile

Senior .NET Developer and Support Engineer with a Bachelor of ICT and twenty years of experience. I’ve worked in industries like e-learning, recruitment, broadcasting and have done CMS implementations for many different clients. I’m approachable, proactive, results-driven and not afraid to pick up the phone. I’ve held various roles, but I value the human connection most. Building strong relationships with colleagues, suppliers and clients.

I am an asset to a company when I function as a bridge between stakeholders and the development team. Handling client requests and critical issues and implementing hotfixes. I allow the development team to stay focused on long-term projects, enhancing overall productivity and ensuring seamless operations. Any remaining time I spend on designing and implementing new features and assisting colleagues.

Blog posts

Here I explore why designing an HTTP API as a state machine makes the API more opinionated and how that reduces side effects and prevents potential bugs.

REST and Hypermedia as the engine of application state

Here I give examples of how a REST API can instruct its clients, creating a looser coupling, which in turn reduces the need for versioning and documentation of the API.

Levels of API granularity

Here I give a more pragmatic overview of granularity levels to choose from when designing an API with considerations for each level.
