👋 Hello, World! I'm Ian.
I am currently located in Maastricht, Netherlands. 🇳🇱
I am a passionate software engineer with expertise in building scalable web applications and modern cloud-based solutions. I enjoy solving complex problems and continuously expanding my skill set. I am a digital nomad and I truly embrace the remote working style while traveling the world with my family.
I can help bring your vision from idea to production. I am familiar with technologies in the entire web stack. I am comfortable working with databases, memory caches, job queues, web servers, cloud services, Linux distributions, containers and orchestration, Bash scripting, software libraries, REST APIs, backend code, and frontend code.
I like interactive organizational roles and I enjoy working with people and using information to provide a service. My approach is cordial, considerate and consensus-driven. When leading, I am flexible but judicious. My strategy is to organize and coordinate activities and encourage cooperation to get things done.
I strive to be flexible and I promote a team approach. To overcome problems, I look for choices, discuss options and try to find a positive way out. I am motivated to anticipate potential problems and prepare for action. When making decisions, I guard against being surprised, build a strategy, and commit myself to a doable outcome. My confidence is increased by dialog to develop a reasonable position.
I approach my work as something that adds value to people's lives.
What matters most in software is the impact it has on the lives of individuals. Software that doesn't solve problems for people is software that doesn't work.
Hundreds of colleagues
I view my co-workers as customers too.
I specialize in creating tools that makes their jobs easier.
Millions of people
I'm proud to have been a part of a team that impacted millions of people.
We enabled these folks to get the medications they need to live healthy lives.
Thousands of businesses
I'm thrilled to have enabled thousands of private practice clinics to serve their patients.
We empowered clinicians to serve patients focused on preventative healthcare.
I am always looking for new challenges to conquer.
