Hi! I'm Robin.
Engineering manager, software engineer and coach.
Writing about self-management, leadership and web engineering.
About Me
I believe that every human being is capable of changing the world.
My mission is to help people unlock their true potential, become more productive, achieve their goals and ultimately live a happier life.
I have a background in computer science, but always struggled to define myself solely based on my role. I've always been interested in a wide variety of topics and my skills are primarily tools to achieve my broader mission.
As a freelancer, I had the pleasure to work with many different companies and clients including N26, Carla and Volvo Cars.
Currently, I work as an engineering leader and host all-inclusive think weeks.
I also create and contribute to open source software with more than 30 million downloads every month.
In my leisure time, I study philosophy, learn French and write fantasy novels.
I am a leader of our scout organisation and volunteer as a chairman for Watoto Kabisa, a non-profit organisation supporting growth projects in Kenia.
Thoughts
I'm grateful for everything I have learned so far and I love sharing my thoughts in long-form posts as well as daily reflections. The topics range from self-management and leadership to software engineering and technical writing.
