Our way of working

People
Our people are our greatest asset. We have consolidated the classic roles and responsibilities of the IT chain and don't discriminate between consultants, developers, scrum masters, and the like. This means that we are all equally responsible for Finaps' success and that we steer clear of traditionally engrained ways of thinking and working. No one is an island, we are all engineers. Together, we are much greater than the sum of our parts.

Approach
Working with Finaps is a pure and authentic experience. Limitless as we are, we always go the extra mile to make sure that we truly understand our clients' needs and what their ambitions are. Finaps engineers add value by being critical about what's possible, by defining our clients' definition of success and staying by their side long after launching the first MVP. This way, we create a partnership that surpasses the traditional client-supplier relationship.

Our team

Friso Nijboer [SEP] Senior Technical Business Engineer
After graduating in Computer Science at the university in Nijmegen, I decided to take a total other direction. Becoming grandmaster, playing in World Cups from Khanty Mansiysk to Las Vegas. Participating many times for the Dutch Olympic team and becoming European champion with them. In 2012 I thought it was a smart move to join Finaps, where I now am happily working for 8 years. It is nice to have a lot of different projects, with a totally different scope and set of problems as well as having colleagues who are all rather unique.
Rochus Meijer [SEP] Principal Business Engineer / Team Lead
IT has always interested me. I have Bachelor's degree in Media Studies and a Master's degree in Information Studies, both of which I've acquired at the University of Amsterdam. During this period I became interested in Usability and Human Computer Interaction, which makes me more of a "Social Application Developer". I joined Finaps early 2012 and since then I've worked on a number of different projects for different clients. The professional, yet relaxing atmosphere triggers me to get the most out of myself and my coworkers. I like to create challenging, user friendly applications that serve our client's needs both functionally and visually.

Jeroen Kesteloo [SEP] Principal Business Engineer / Team Lead
Software allows us to make meaningful changes to existing processes. Being able to help organizations by developing new apps and kickstarting their IT landscape is what makes it so much fun for so many years. I get challenged on a daily basis by our complex client projects. But when working with smart and capable people, every complex challenge is possible and fun.
Simon Martyr [SEP] Senior Software Engineer
After finishing my degree in Computer Science as well as an internship at Nokia Siemens Networks within the UK, I looked to challenge myself in more ways than one. So in the summer of 2013 I moved to the Nederlands to be a part of Finaps. Finaps allows me to combine my knowledge of web technologies and programming within a fun and dynamic environment. Alongside other interesting colleagues who share common interests and are willing to help each other develop, each project and opportunity is a fun challenge that I enjoy being a part of.
Andrew Hagens [SEP] Chief Technology Officer
"You can only connect the dots looking backwards, not forward". This saying has permeated my life in very unexpected ways. I arrived in Europe in 2006 with the intention of becoming a Formula 1 car designer. Many dots later, and I now work as a software engineer at Finaps. It was my interests in system design and engineering that sparked my interest in computational systems. So, I can clearly state that I never saw these dots looking forward but understand them now looking backwards.
Ron Stoop [SEP] Senior Business Engineer
Ever since high school I was interested in solving (logistical) business problems and searching for the most optimal solution. The choice to go study Econometrics and Operations Research, wasn't therefore a hard one. I work for Finaps since May 2015 and knew quickly that I am at the right company to deploy my interests and skills. Every client is different and deserves an app that fully meets their expectations. This requires a great empathy with the client and a lot of flexibility from me and my colleagues. I like to face this challenge!
Thomas Poiesz [SEP] Senior Software Engineer
At Finaps, I never feel bad about having to go to work. I am constantly challenged to learn and improve, both technically and professionally. The most important thing though, is that I can work with a team of people who share an interest in finding the best solutions for the problems we encounter and are great to hang out with. Never a boring day at the office!
Jelle Leermakers [SEP] Senior Business Engineer / Team Lead
I have a wide range of interests which I believe are a result of my studies in Industrial Engineering at TU Eindhoven. During these studies I have developed knowledge in both process thinking as well as business modelling. At Finaps it is nice to be able to combine that knowledge to create business solutions from start to finish whilst working in a supportive and joyful environment. I believe with the combination of the project team working alongside the customer we are able to get a thorough understanding of the business processes, allowing us to optimise and create the right application and functionalities.
Loet Romijn [SEP] Software Engineer
After finishing a three-month Bootcamp Full-Stack Web Development (Node JS) by the New York Code + Design Academy I started working at Finaps. My core values of integrity, honesty, curiosity, ambition, fun and passion are represented by Finaps. This job allows me to learn on the go and challenges me to develop applications that truly add value and inspire others the way I am inspired by the work of my colleagues. With two strong women at the top, this company is the perfect place for me to work and develop both myself and awesome business applications.
Kevin Pennekamp [SEP] Senior Software Engineer / Team Lead
As a Software Engineer at Finaps I create business solutions from start to finish in a joyful environment. I strife to deliver business solutions that go beyond the wishes and expectations of the customer. By really understanding the problems of our customers, we can come up with new and innovative solutions. With the can-do mentality at Finaps I am positive we are able to deliver the highest quality business solution for any customer.
Tim Pijl [SEP] Senior Data Analytics Engineer
Studying Econometrics, I never thought I would end up at a software company. I joined Finaps in september 2017 and I have enjoyed every day since. I love to solve technical challenges where my knowledge and creativity are tested every day. Collaborating in small teams with different personalities and backgrounds is what drives me to create great software. My main focus is on developing applications that are highly data driven. These applications enable people to make better (business) decisions. Given not only one's expert knowledge, but all the information that is available in the data, one should be able to improve their decision-making process.
Wouter de Haan [SEP] Software Engineer
As an intern and having worked part-time at Finaps for over three years, I had the opportunity and privilege to learn what it means to be a good developer. Without much experience to start out with, I've tried to learn as much as possible from the great people around me. But this knowledge needs to be put into action for it to mean anything. So, I'm very pleased that in my new role as Software Engineer I can put this into practice and learn even more!
Jochem van Eldijk [SEP] Senior Technical Business Engineer / Team Lead
In my role as Software engineer at Finaps I work in a small team of professionals. As a team we see a big variety of clients and gain hands on experience on designing, developing and operating applications in an enterprise setting. This allows us to work with cool new technologies and to add value for our customers and to society. This makes working at Finaps very motivating and satisfying.
Marius van der Knaap [SEP] Senior Business Engineer
I believe that through user-centered design we can create intuitive apps that people love to use. I love cooking, gaming, snowboarding and traveling, amongst other things. My travels so far include a trip through the popular backpackers' hubs in South East Asia, Central America and Colombia. During my Bachelor's and Master's in information studies, I focused on the various psychological and physiological aspects that play a role in an inclusive application design. Furthermore, I gained experience in programming, machine learning, did a minor in Digital Humanities and developed an interdisciplinary way of thinking.
Stefani Peters [SEP] Software Engineer
During my studies I found out that programming really gets me going. This got me thinking about software development. In my spare time I love to cook and bake, which has its similarities with brewing software. Why? Because the final taste of something you create is a product of all the ingredients, tools and how you use them – just like coding. With my colleagues we form a team which can solve all sorts of problems. The first time I walked into Finaps I immediately felt comfortable. During work hours there is time for fun, but also hard work and learning.
Bram van der Linden [SEP] Senior Business Engineer
During my studies Industrial Engineering, I developed skills and knowledge in both process thinking and business modelling. Here, I quickly discovered an interest in courses that let us build our own applications to solve business problems. As a Business Engineer at Finaps, I get to create business solutions from start to finish in close collaboration with our clients. This allows me to get a thorough understanding of the core processes and needs. The agile way of working at Finaps also provides a very dynamic and joyful working atmosphere. It is great to work in such an inspiring and creative environment.
Tom Renkema [SEP] Senior Software Engineer
Growing up, I've always had an interest in a broad range of subjects. This led me to pursue a bachelor's degree in Artificial Intelligence and a master's degree in Human-Machine Communication at the University of Groningen. During these degrees, I loved learning about very varied topics ranging from cognitive psychology to machine learning. It was fascinating to witness the rapid growth of artificial intelligence techniques to the large role that they play today. From the start, I noticed the great atmosphere at Finaps and that hasn't changed since. Collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds makes working here a great experience.
Martina van Slooten [SEP] Senior Business Engineer
During my study in Psychology I have been interested in the combination of human behaviour and technology. I find it interesting to see that technology can help us find regularities in human behaviour, from which we can better understand and even predict behaviour. As a Business Engineer at Finaps I have the possibility to further develop my technical skills in an energetic and motivated environment. The small agile teams help to develop these skills, because I can work on a project from beginning to end. I am very pleased to be working in such a friendly and inspiring company.
Huan Yang [SEP] Senior UX Designer
My mission in Finaps is to come up with simple and user-friendly digital solution so that the client's complex problem can be successfully solved. My speciality is to identify the user needs and wants by means of usability tests, interviews, focus groups and generative sessions and translate those insights to the best possible digital solutions. I'm a result driven person, like taking challenges at work and meeting new people. Knowing my design can help the clients and users is my biggest joy.
Conor Corey [SEP] Business Engineer
Every day our lives become more convenient as technology becomes more advanced, but we also become more and more dependent on these technologies. I found it frustrating that I did not know how anything really worked. So I decided to do something about it, and turned this frustration into curiosity by enrolling in an intensive full stack web development course. Now I have the opportunity to begin building an amazing new career with Finaps, where I will be able to further develop my skills. There is always time to learn how to do something new.
Stefanie Repenning [SEP] Business Development Manager
I am happy to work for Finaps because of their people, their expertise and their way of working.
For me it is very important to build long-term relationships with clients, that enable an open, honest and target oriented conversation. In my opinion, this forms the basis for real added value to be created for both sides. I like understanding the essence of problems and finding the right solution. Finaps puts a lot of emphasis on client relations that are sustainable, which makes it a great environment to work in for me as a sales manager.
Robert Jones [SEP] Software Engineer
While studying for my Master's degree in Statistics in University College Dublin, I was always amazed at what we can discover using a little bit of ingenuity. Developing solutions for their client's needs with a creative and collaborative approach, Finaps' philosophy of achieving ambitious goals really appealed to me. Their large collection of successful projects have had a definite and beneficial effect on a diverse range of people and organisations. It is my hope that I can play an important role on the next steps of their already impressive journey.
Nathan Schot [SEP] Software Engineer
My studies took me through the fields of Physics, Econometrics, and Business, so ending up in software development was unexpected. However, it was a journey that taught me that I want to combine advanced problem-solving with making a true impact for those I work with. At Finaps, every day throws up new challenge, with the aim of helping our clients receive the best possible product. On top of that, I work with motivated colleagues from a wide variety of backgrounds, which makes that there is something new to learn every day.
Arjen Schroth [SEP] Business Development Manager
I've always get energized by working with people. At Finaps I'm able to collaborate with both colleagues and with existing and potential clients. As Sales Manager at Finaps, finding the right solutions to the right problem, understanding client needs and building and maintaining relationships are key. What makes us unique, is that we are not simply a selling machine. Instead we focus on understanding client needs, and translating their needs into the best possible solution. We will go the extra mile, and I'm proud to be part of the team.
Max Wouters [SEP] Business Engineer
From a young age I always thought that I was going to be a lawyer. Following the "Economy and society" direction at high school I never really considered a career in IT. However, after becoming familiar with mathematics my interests shifted. All of a sudden technology and science interested me. Because of this, I started studying Industrial Engineering. After a workshop at the TU/e I contacted Finaps. Together we figured out a way to combine working with studying. To this day, I am still very happy that I am part of this amazing and inspiring team.
Niels Disveld [SEP] Software Engineer
As someone graduated in theoretical mathematics, I found it difficult to find a job that lets me apply the skills I had learned during my education. Finaps however, provides an environment that encourages us to play to our individual strengths instead of minimizing our weaknesses. Combine this philosophy with Finaps' diverse team of people with unique backgrounds and beautiful things are bound to happen!
Job den Otter [SEP] Software Engineer
After getting my bachelor's degree in Econometrics and OR at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, I wanted to do get my master's degree and start obtaining more practical experience. At Finaps I have the opportunity to work in a diverse, professional and enthusiastic team while I finish my master in econometrics. I like the technical challenges I get to work with as a back-end developer. Working together with the team and the clients to create the best products makes the everyday activities exciting.
Richard Chou [SEP] Process Engineer
With a background in Business Information Management, I have gained theoretical experience to link the people, processes and technology. At Finaps, I have received the possibility again to apply the theory which I have gained throughout my studies and apply it into practice. As a Process Engineer, I will be ensuring that all the processes and policies will be developed and embedded within Finaps. Researching new, efficient and secure applied ways of working and integrate them to maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability at Finaps is a challenge that I am willing to accept.
Sander Meester [SEP] Software Engineer
Even though I was interested in a wide array of fields, programming and solving problems is what I enjoyed the most. Finaps struck me as the place where I could expand my technical skills, and simultaneously grow as a person. Each project we strive to achieve the best possible result, while having a great time solving challenges together. Each member of the team has valuable knowledge in their field of expertise and is fun to work with, making for a great environment! I aim to keep improving myself through all the cool projects.
Mark Peeters [SEP] Business Engineer
People, numbers and creating solutions have always piqued my interest. Following these interests, I obtained a master's degree in Industrial Engineering and gained professional experience in the area of data analytics. As a business engineer within Finaps, I can put my interests and skills into practice in a fun and motivating environment. It is only in this environment, in which I aim to create easy-to-use apps for all users.
Jorick Koningstein [SEP] Business Engineer
I started working at Finaps in September 2019, while finishing my bachelor study, Industrial Engineering, at the Technical University of Eindhoven. Finaps helped me develop the skills needed to create a quick, practical solutions for a problem, whilst keeping long-term planning in mind. This is practiced in a diverse team, which allows us to keep on pushing the boundaries of our capabilities and learn more while working.
Bram Kraaijeveld [SEP] Software Engineer
After studying Data Science and Knowledge Engineering in Maastricht and Computational Science in Amsterdam, having internships at various scientific projects at the side, I felt it was time to move on to something new. I therefore joined the young and ambitious team at Finaps in December 2019. Creating new things is what I enjoy most, especially if these things are both functional and beautiful. At Finaps I can employ both my creative and technical skills to make awesome applications that satisfy both myself and others and learn a lot in the process.
Charlotte van Brakel [SEP] Business Engineer
I was always interested in arts and music and this led me to completing the Bachelor 'Arts, Culture & Media' at the RUG and the Master 'New Media' at the UvA. After working in the Publishing industry for a few years I decided I wanted to shake things up and start a career in coding by completing a program offered by the HvA to become a Software Engineer. In January 2020 I started working at Finaps as a Business Engineer. I really like the mix between code and design which means that I not only get to build and puzzle, but also be creative!
Dirk van Hezel [SEP] Business Engineer
After finishing my bachelor's in Business Administration, I recently finished my master Transport & Supply management. During my master I worked with quantitative software programs and got introduced to different programming languages. Solving challenging problems within these software programs got me excited and developed an interest in IT. This interest made me realize that I wanted a career in this fast changing, and challenging environment. The opportunity to work for Finaps allows me to further develop my technical skills and be part of an amazing young and professional company.
Maarten Abbassi [SEP] Business Engineer
During my bachelor in the medical field I was very much interested in the subjects related to technology. How can we improve healthcare using technologies such as artificial intelligence? How can we better predict the outcome of a certain decease? After my bachelor's, I enrolled in a master's degree to combine my background in the medical field with business and IT. This turned out to be a very good choice, which eventually led to my employment as a business engineer at Finaps. At Finaps I can put my developed skills in practice and be involved in all the latest technologies in business.
Wouter Hoogland [SEP] Business Engineer
My mentor at university believed that I must have hated myself. I always choose the most challenging projects in the most diverse fields of research. This has made me to an allrounder I am today. Moreover, during the process, I've developed a passion for information analysis. Using logic to create understanding from complex matters is what appeared to make me happy. This skill is essential for both recognising customers' business requirements and constructing suitable (IT-) solutions to fit these requirements. I am looking forward to developing and deploying my skills at Finaps and to start working with the team on challenging projects.
Matthijs Dieperink [SEP] Software Engineer
Since high school I have been really interested in the big problems in Astronomy and Technology. Because of this I started the bachelor Physics & Astronomy. Besides the basic mathematics and physics courses, I learned about solving problems with multiple programming languages. During my Master I continued with this and started to get really interested in programming and everything related to it. After my master I focused on other sides of programming and found at Finaps what I missed during my study, something more tangible. I found my passion in creating something more Business oriented together with a team.
Cas Becker [SEP] Business Engineer
After finishing my Bachelor of Science at the University of Amsterdam, I found out that days would fly by when I was coding. I'd get stuck on problems and passionately work on them until I found a creative solution, forgetting to even eat.

This motivation drove me to learn coding as well as Mendix, and now I've found my place at Finaps where I can apply this critical reasoning in a context full of people just as motivated as I am.

This context, combined with my curiosity results in an ideal place for creative solutions.
Vincent Mulder [SEP] Business Engineer
The possibilities of the future have always been a great interest to me. The reason that these possibilities are an appeal to me is that the opportunities that come with new technology are endless. My other passion is helping people with smart solutions. Combining these two factors is something that gives me enormous energy. Above all, I can do something that I love in a positive and enthusiastic atmosphere. These aspects make me proud to be part of the Finaps family.
Mats Cornelissen [SEP] Business Engineer
My career path took a somewhat unexpected turn of events. I have first focused on educating myself to become a lifestyle coach, because it was always in my nature to support and help people. It was only during my masters that I discovered my love for programming and software development. I am pleased for the opportunity that Finaps provided me with to work as Business Engineer, where I can combine my social skills and programming skills to develop business-oriented solutions for the customer.
Niels Burbach [SEP] Software Engineer
Studying Mechanical Engineering I first got introduced into the world of software engineering by writing code for small robots. This immediately sparked my interest, so I took it upon myself to get better at it. After finishing my studies, I made the decision to become a Software Engineer. Working at Finaps I get the chance to develop myself even further, work at projects that matter and work with professionals that know what they are doing. The small team I work with, and the rest of Finaps, made sure I felt right at home.
Femke Madsen [SEP] Business Engineer
As a mathematician, I like to solve puzzles and complex problems. During my studies, I obtained a lot of problem-solving skills on abstract mathematical subjects. However, after graduating, I wanted to step out the mathematical landscape and use my obtained skills on solving business problems. I was also curious about the world behind all the technology we use nowadays. At Finaps, I learn a lot about developing apps and new technologies and as a Business Engineer, I help solving challenging client problems.
Alexander Driessen [SEP] Business Development Engineer
I believe that we have only seen the beginning of what software will entail for us. During my studies I became aware of the philosophy and the possibilities of digital innovation. This convinced me to pursue a career within this field.

Finaps believes in the power of innovation and is always on the lookout for new and exciting solutions. Me and my colleagues are always challenged to find new opportunities and are enabled to explore them. It is due to this entrepreneurial spirit why I am thrilled to be part of the Finaps family.
Tobias Maas [SEP] Software Engineer
Software allows us to optimize repetitive processes enabling us to spend more time adding value with our individual qualities. Therefore I believe good software is a catalyst of human value. Designing, developing and implementing good software is of great interest to me. To collaborate with interesting clients, shaping needs into solutions that increase human value, gives me a lot of energy.
Billy van Vliet [SEP] Marketing & Communications Officer
I have been in marketing for several years now. What do I like about Marketing? The funnels and the storytelling. From the Awareness phase to the Advocacy phase. A good funnel only works when the content is authentic and unique. It has to be Inbound. Helping instead of selling. Great storytelling is what it's all about nowadays. Creating the wow factor followed by proof and showing that you really know what you are talking about. I like writing but I also enjoy producing videos.
Lieke Kollen [SEP] Business Engineer
What I loved about my study Behavioural Economics is that it taught me to always challenge the existing beliefs. As a business engineer, I get to put this into practice every day by using ever evolving technology to create smart and lasting solutions for complex matters. Being able to bridge the gap between business and technology in Finaps' entrepreneurial and spirited environment can only mean that the best is yet to come!
Yara van Schaik [SEP] Business Engineer
I like to spend my (spare) time solving puzzles, and to undertake creative activities. In my work at Finaps I get the opportunity to combine both passions with the ultimate goal to deliver a fine end product. Seeing a happy client gives me an extra boost. On top of that, I work in a team of passionate and fun colleagues!
Marlies van Sonsbeek [SEP] Managing Partner
I have a background in IT, Business Operations and Change Management with over 30 years' experience in management within the financial services and IT sector. My passion is making people perform. Making our clients perform IT value for their business, making our staff perform extraordinary solutions. My strong belief is performance is only driven by passionated people that like each other sincerely. With Finaps I believe we make the difference in the various domains that we are active. Our broad IT and business experience, innovative and flexible mindset and great technology enables us to deliver what our clients are looking for: future-proof business solutions that work.
Lonneke Makhija [SEP] Managing Partner
I started my career in banking, in 2010 the Industry had changed drastically and I believed there was room for new opportunities within. This resulted in the start-up of Finaps in 2010. As founder and managing partner I am involved in setting out Finaps strategy and identifying new opportunities. At Finaps we like to get things done. Of course, there are challenges every day as in most of companies but all of us will work hard to overcome them together. If we succeed, we celebrate and if we fail, we step back and look at the reasons and start again.
