Computers have been part of my life since my parents bought me a (legendary) C64 back when I was 6. Since then I've had many machines - and an equal amount of evening/weekend jobs - from Amiga's, PC's and ultimately a Mac. I've always had the uncontrollable urge to control and thus code on all of them. Over the past years i have grown fond of the Microsoft .NET Framework, especially in the context of web/communication based application development with C# as my language of preference.

Findsi (find-as-i): A nextgen recommendation-engine, designed to supersede the "people who bought this, also bought"-breed. Findsi takes the anonymized individual as its starting-point. Results are always personalised while privacy is guaranteed. Findsi considers the complete anonymized user set present as the individual’s context. Therefore, results are more accurate. Findsi is a semantic tool. Nevertheless, it is language agnostic. Findsi is only accessible through an API. You decide how to display the results. We only empower your decisions.

“I worked with Geoffrey during my time as a QA Manager in NIPO Software. Geoffrey was punctual on the technical needs that the business demands raise and took initiative to solve them. He was also a good supporter of test automation initiatives which makes him one of the developers that focuses on building the quality in a product. Dedicated, hard working and an easy going gentleman, I recommend him for your hard technical challenges.”
Hari BARAN

“Geoffrey is a driven .Net architect and developer that is highly focused on writing maintainable solutions across a variety of .Net technologies. A great sparring partner to bounce off ideas and get (better) ideas back. He's passionate about his work and a joy to work with.”
Björn Coltof

“In de projecten waarmee we samen de Nederlandse markt hebben veroverd, heeft Geoffrey een belangrijke (internet-)rol gespeeld: wij de software en hij de web-ontsluiting. Een goede project-speler met oog voor de bedoelingen van onze wederzijdse klanten en de kennis en vaardigheid om innovatief zaken te realiseren en over te brengen. Daarom na bijna 20 jaar nog steeds een betrouwbare business-partner.”
Antony Fokker RAE

“I have hired Geoffrey a couple of times for activities for my clients. Geoffrey proved to be a reliable down to earth programmer/consultant that realy thinks along with you and is prepared to think out of the box. Also he showed in depth knowledge and came op with good reults.”
Mark Hoekstra

“Geoffrey is the ideal guy to work with. As a software architect he possesses up-to-date technical skills that seem to span infinitely. He himself claims this is due to his insatiable hunger for knowledge but I rather contribute it to his creativity and lust for perfection. Geoffrey is not your typical software guy. He has an austere feel for aesthetics and a wicked sense of humor. I am proud to work with Geoffrey for ten years now.”
