From my position as Administrator for FOK! and part time film reviewer for the site, in 2013 I took over the general management of the film and television section. Since then, I have increased my focus on the film & tv-related content on FOK!, writing a selection of the film reviews and coordinating the editorial staff.

As part of my goal to broaden the appeal of the site towards visitors interested in popular culture, I have visited conventions such as Comic-Con International to bring original content from an international perspective to FOK!, interviewing creators of popular shows and movies and reporting about the events themselves.

Since starting to write about film and television on FOK!, with which I started well before 2013, my interest in the subject has increased and I now aim to further professionalize my involvement with film journalism.

Involved with coordinating the day-to-day progress of one of the development teams. Responsible for the delivery of periodical releases of the main software framework. Managing communication between product owners and developers + supporting other teams/consultants where needed.

Responsible for day-to-day development tasks, managing the development team, technical support of editorial crew. Additional writing activities for FOK!film (news & reviews).

This in addition to the regular development activities (see previous position, copied here for convenience): Development of the main frameworks on which the site runs: a tailor-made content management system for the news oriented parts of the site, a main engine for the forums to run on, several backend management tools for editorial staff and moderators.

All tools and systems are developed in close contact with the (internal) clients (staff), site users and are improved from day to day due to enthusiastic feedback on a regular basis.

In the summer of 2013 the meetup group 010PHP saw the light of day. We started this group, a nonprofit community which organizes monthly meetups for PHP developers and related IT professionals, to grow the local community of web developers, enthusiasts and the likes.

These days, we're honored to draw around 50 to 60 010PHP members each month to our meetups, and see many returning faces as well as new ones at each meetup. Our main talks inform or teach the attendees about a variety of topics, ranging from pure programming resources to social skills. And of course, it's a great monthly networking and socializing event.
