Using the insights gained by my academic background in chemistry and experiences in several laboratories (among which Roche Diagnostics and Netherlands Vaccin Institute), I moved into laboratory software development, which combines my favourite fields. Not only in laboratories, I'm also asked outside the field to work on full-stack software development. With an official Microsoft certificate (MCSA) I'm specialized in .NET software development, ASP.NET, dotNET Core, SQL and Azure. As fractional CTO for GlycoMScan, I am responsible for the complete IT Ops, including infrastructure, cyber security, data safety and storage, report automation, and the website. We are ISO 27001 compliant. 

I switched my career from assistant professor in Clinical Glycomics at Radboud UMC to start my own business, which arose from the research of my personal NWO-Veni grant. I believe that there is a market to apply the analytical methods that I developed into biotechnology and for the development of medication for PMM2-CDG, a subgroup of the rare disorders I was doing research on in Nijmegen. I decided to settle in Pivot Park, since I knew the site from my time at Organon from 2003 to 2004, which I enjoyed a lot. It is the perfect place to assist the community with analyses of their products. Together with Mischa, Fleur, our business partners for specialized data analyses, accountant, legal and business developer, we are able to offer you a variety of analyses. My ambition is to provide high quality service and data, share my knowledge with you to help you succeed in your projects. I like the contacts with you and to practice my expertise in analytical chemistry. 

In October 2023, I joined GlycoMscan after completing my master’s degree in Medical Engineering at the Technical University of Eindhoven. During my master’s, I specialized in analytical chemistry through multiple courses and a project with liquid chromatography coupled to the Orbitrap for high-resolution mass spectrometry. Programming, modeling, and coding were essential for biomedical applications and data analyses during my studies. In GlycoMScan, I hope to apply this knowledge to speed up the workflow and help more companies with questions that comprise large data sets. Besides the processing parts, I will contribute to the sample preparation and LC-MS/MS services that GlycoMScan offers.
