Speaking & Teaching

I believe a healthy language ecosystem is built by the people who show up. Here's where I show up.

PyCon NL / PyNetherlands - Treasurer

I serve on the board of the Dutch Python association as treasurer, handling the finances behind the national conference and the year-round work of keeping the community running.

Sopra Steria Pythoneers - Practice community

An active member of the Pythoneers practice community within Sopra Steria, where I organise workshops, sit on committees, and help others grow their Python skills.

Sharing knowledge is something I do deliberately, not just by showing up, but by designing learning experiences that stick.

Everybody Hates Monorepos - A pizza workshop with uv

A hands-on developer workshop on building a solid Python monorepo with uv workspaces. Participants work in a pizza-discovery workspace (a Streamlit map, an API client and a shared library), add a new member, and run into the traps you'd hit on a normal Monday: a version clash between members, a test run that reports coverage it never earned, and a package that silently changes source when it's moved out of the workspace. A just toolkit runs tests, quality gates and versioning per member, the same way on your laptop and in CI.

Streamlit Workshop - Catch 'em all

A hands-on internal workshop built around a Pokémon-themed project. Participants went from zero to a working Streamlit app, learning data wrangling and interactive UI patterns along the way.
