  Hyves

  Jan 2009 - Sept 2013

  Hyves was the biggest social network in the Netherlands and I was invited to work at Hyves when it was still growing rapidly. It was an experience by itself to work in a startup with very dynamic environment and deal with high performance scalability problems. I lead teams to build and maintain products like search, messaging, classifieds, media uploaders, etc. that were used by millions of users, while working with product managers, community support and system engineers. I have applied several principles like AB-testing, incremental-release, dark-launches, etc. I also hired/mentored team members and had pleasure to work with rock star 10x developers. After Hyves was bought by TMG, I picked another challenge to help local regional news brand Dichtbij to simplify its architecture and speedup the product development. Show less
