From SPA Wiki
Erik just loves programming. After a couple of years of advice, research and coaching and change managment, he has returned to his first love and now runs the Software Studio in his own company Seek You Too. (Seek You Too has been started together with together with WillemvandenEnde, who still is a coach and change artist. General management is now done by Jeanet Hoving, Erik is the technical manager.)
In October 2000, Erik and Willem started XP-NL, the Dutch XP interestgroup [1] (not so active anymore, there is XPDays now) and during spring 2002, together with [PascalVanCauwenberghe], [VeraPeeters] [PeterSchrier] and [MarcEvers], they started the Systems Thinking group [2] and organize XPDays Benelux [3]. Erik is a board member of Agile Systems vzw.
Erik always tries to improve on whatever he is doing. This led to, for example,
- (True) Delegation in Java [4] (featured on SPA in 2005: DelegationInJava) and
- Fully transparent object persistency in Java [5].
- Program Decomposition with Python 2.5 generators [6] which was a session on SPA2008: ProgramDecompositionWithPython.
Currently, Erik is actively involved in the Meresco component library [7]. This includes some interesting gems he hopes to bring to SPA in the future.
Thank you for reading!
