About Benjamin
Driven to solve complex challenges, I like to make use of my broad expertise and curious mindset to provide a real impact on operations. I learn fast, and am target driven. I'm easy to work with, and love to pass on knowledge.
Beyond simply coding a tool to match a given need, I'm more than eager to see how this particular need fits into your general organisation, and to provide a more comprehensive solution, combining the definition of new processes with new/improved tooling.
I'm a well-versed software developer / system admin with a solid background in biology/clinical research. As such, I'm able to communicate efficiently with non-technical experrts, be it to gather their much needed insight, or to communicate on needed changes in the organisation.
