Über mich

I work globally for the duration of my contract and do whatever it takes to make your project a success, to deliver on time and with the agreed deliverables and quality criteria. My strong point is that I work internationally with people from all cultures and backgrounds. Since January 2001 I have been working on Freelance contracts in different sectors like Credit, Loan, Travel, Fintech, Banking, Finance, Engineering, (Re)Insurance, Manufacturing, Automotive and Telecom. I give advice regarding “TOM Best Practices”, “Process Improvements”, “Requirements Management” and “Test Management” to the end client, vendor or system integrator and all the team members involved. In each Testing project I will present and maintain a “Test Strategy” document. MOTTO 1. Work Hard to get the job done. No if’s no but’s. No matter what’s. 2. Rest between jobs. I work to live, I do not live to Work, there is more in life to enjoy. 3. The well-being and health of my team members are priority one.
