Hi, my name is Jos 😎. I'm passionate about working with all kind of people and teams. With roots in product engineering, I’ve spent years building systems and solving complex problems. But what truly energises me is helping other people grow. Whether it’s spotting a tiny improvement or unlocking a team’s full potential, I bring clarity, structure and momentum to the table. Because great tech starts with great people.

After a really good session I left with a wider view about software development. With a lean team, they produced high-performance applications for their own global television formats in just a few weeks. Read how this changed my view and can help you in your own project.
