STAFF STORIES
I started at PFM in 2002 as a software developer. At that time I 'took over' the IT department and basically started from scratch. I was responsible for the foundation for PFM's digital infrastructure. This enabled me to develop a skill set that is unique within PFM.
A lot has changed in recent years. PFM has grown, both in customers and in colleagues. Especially in the IT department. There is a major focus on the development of new software.
gerrit: our Sr IT/ICT Developer
In my position as Sr IT/ICT Developer I am responsible for maintaining networks and existing software. This means internally I am the point of contact for my colleagues when there are network issues. But my work doesn’t end there. I also have a lot of direct contact with our customers. I know what our customers are working with and I can provide support with software-related issues. This is one of the greatest things in my job, because I can fix their problems immediately. I am also involved in new projects, such as the installation of free Wi-Fi networks at shopping centres.
"Every day is a new challenge"
Passie & Inspiratie
At PFM we offer free Wi-Fi networks for shopping centers. This type of project is a great challenge for me. I believe that there is much to gain in free Wi-Fi networks. This is definitely something I would like to develop myself in.
In my spare time, I enjoy building websites and spending time with family and friends. The same friends and family obviously know me well and ask me to help them with their computer problems. Of course I am always happy to help.

Het leukste moment
One of the programs I wrote in 2002 is still used today. I have made many updates and improvements of course, but the basis has proved to be so well applicable to PFM that it has been used for so long. Surely something to be proud of!
