  1. The Cycle Continues

    I am leaving NOVI. Yes, I know, it is sad news. For almost 6 years I have been building and maintaining an organisation that provides the best cybersecurity and software development (Bachelor) education in The Netherlands. In that time I have done amazing things:

    • Created a short course format for people that want to switch careers. With some back of the napkin calculations I have seen over 2500 students pass through one of the programs.
    • I lead a team of quality assurance, educational development, EduTech developers and teachers to build an awesome EduTech tool and provide top-notch education.
    • Started and hosted the Hack The Box NL meetups for 4 years.
    • I became part of the management team and helped the organisation through an M&A proces

    It has been a wild ride, but like all things that begin, it must end.
