I'm Bert Loedeman, an enthousiastic .NET professional. My personality is pretty well described with the following keywords:

• Enthousiastic
• Self-convinced
• People guy
• Precise
• Hard worker
• [possible trap] Sometimes too quickly annoyed

Since late 2004 I specialized in the latest C# .NET development and architecture. I cooperated in the architecture/development of a large retail application at NedFox. My architectural role becoming less important through time, I decided to dive into SQL Server 2005.

After 3 years of gathering and sharing knowledge, I decided to quit NedFox and start a new challenge with Seven Stars (since Oct 1, 2007). My first job with SSPS is an architecture job at an insurance company, De Friesland Zorgverzekeraar (DFZ). My main job is to implement a new, manageable internal application set enabling DFZ to grow larger. I should stay with DFZ for about 9 months, but nowadays it's already 2 years and 3 months I've been there ;).

Besides my main job I sometimes give .NET 'deep dive' trainings for beginners (small groups).

I am a certified MCPD Enterprise Developer for .NET 2.0, .NET 3.5 and .NET 4.0. I am more and more shifting into an architectural role (using my technical 'baggage' on a higher level). That role really interests me. Currently I am a SCRUM Master at De Friesland Zorgverzekeraar. I have become Certified SCRUM Master after attending a Certified SCRUM Master course in May, 2011.

Apart from my biggest hobby: architecture and development (all IT) I find myself pretty busy taking photos, playing volleyball, and since March 2009 I am the proud driver of a Suzuki Bandit 1200S motor cycle.

Apart from the IT area, I am quite busy in church, for instance, I am part in the board of two committees and one (study) association.

Last but not least, I try to find some quality time to spend with my wonderful wife Petra and my lovely little daughter Lisa.
