The Dutch idiom: 'looking for a five-legged sheep' ... I am that sheep.
The term is used when looking for an uncommon combination of features (or skills). And my mix of degrees in business economics, plus history, plus software development, is not very common. But that's what I am: a 'economist-historian-programmer-manager'. Allow me to help you develop new and innovative technology.
Over the last ten years I have managed digital research infrastructure. If that sounds a tad vague, consider this: modern academic research requires facilities - anything ranging from laboratories to libraries. I spent most of my working life organizing, managing and finding funds for the teams building such systems. And worked extensively in the fields of Social Science, Humanities and the Cultural Heritage-sector. Where I often was the connecting link between academic researchers and software engineers.
In Fourdays, I use my being-the-bridge expertise to develop a platform that enables users and developers to work together. My passion for the humanities and heritage remain undiminished, and I also enjoy working as a consultant for many international organizations in these fields.

Think about that. Now also consider the number of decisions people make based on spreadsheets. Now tell me that is not a problem.

When it comes to picking a market and competition, I'd rather punch above my weight - especially as a startup.

Why do we trust things? And how do we bolster trust in software?

Let's stop hoping software development projects will work out, and start trusting they will. But how do you validate trust?
Tue, 18 May 2021
The projects that I've seen fail, almost always failed because of a lack of trust between domain experts and software engineers. And without trust we cannot be certain that the code does the right thing.

I did not get the Kano-model when I was doing my Lean Six Sigma-training. There, I said it.
