Currently I hold a position as medior software engineer for a government agency related to the Dutch Ministry of Justice. At this position I am developing Java Enterprise applications using J2EE technologies such as EJBs, JSF and others.

In the past I worked for SemLab as a software engineer. I was mostly busy with working on knowledge-intensive decision support systems using Java. I have also been active in the field of ontology learning, which was the subject of my Master Thesis. Furthermore I have been involved in projects concerning the visualization and querying of RDF datasets using SPARQL.
