Rick van der Arend

Amsterdam Area, Netherlands Netherlands

CTO at M-Industries

Technology / Software / Internet

Senior software engineer with solid skills in a wide variety of techniques and platforms. Knowledge of Java, Smalltalk, Python, Ruby and PHP. Specialized in .NET at the moment. You can find me around the IT-business interface, as I think that is where I can add the most value. I have a keen interest in the software development process, leaning towards agile / lean methodologies. Capable of using OO software design patterns and XP practices. I like to work in a Domain Driven way (DDD), as that makes the chances of creating a valuable product so much higher. Able to coach or lead a team in a set of practices appropriate for its level of knowledge and experience.
