My name is Hans Westerbeek, and I mainly work freelance as a software engineer. I have the entrepreneurial spirit in me so I am also interested in hearing from start-ups.
The things I can do for you:
- Design and implement your application.
- Assist your team lead (or be your team lead) in making choices presented by the vast landscape of open source technologies.
- Help getting your project out of technical trouble.
- Get your team on-board when introducing changes to your technology-stack
- Simply getting things done, period.
My core competences include:
- Spring Framework, the leading framework in the Enterprise Java world, including many of the other Springsource portfolio products
- Grails
- Object-Relational mapping with Hibernate or JPA. I’m no stranger to the new breed of NoSQL databases
- End-to-end knowledge, from Javascript in the browser to message-bus infrastructure on the backend, I will connect the dots.
- A solid approach through architecture based on best practices learned both through personal experience and by reading literature
- The Agile/Scrum methodologies and the principles of Lean software development
- Test Driven Development, Unit testing and Continuous Integration
- Integrating your core systems, experienced with a wide array of choices: from the most basic type to sophisticated ones using Enterprise Integration Patterns
Do not hesitate to get in touch if you think your project could benefit from my expertise, or if you would like to review my resume.
