On the 23th of June 2004 I graduated my studies of Industrial Engineeing and Management Sciences at the Eindhoven University of Technology. I graduated at Flextronics International through the department of Quality and Reliability Engineering of the university. My thesis dealt with the implementation and further development of an innovative concept for prediction and optimization of product reliability. I graduated with the excellent mark 9.

During my studies I spent half a year studying in Barcelona, Spain, where I improved a lot at my social skills, communicational skills and most importantly self-confidence. After this half year I returned to The Netherlands where four good Spanish friends came to study. This provided me with the opportunity to improve my Spanish even more.

After my graduation I found a job at DAF Trucks in Eindhoven where I started working as the Quality Engineer of the Engine Division. Due to the development and introduction of the new MX engine together with the new XF105 DAF has replaced all of its machining processes with new ones. A huge investment which will lead to an ever better and more reliable engine. This makes the current work environment very dynamic, educational and hectic.

From July to November 2006 I attended Six Sigma Black Belt training for which I was selected in the United States at the PACCAR Peterbilt Truck facilities. After four weeks of training and a project I was proclaimed Six Sigma Tiger.

After the Black Belt training I successfully lead several projects on engine field failures that were jeopardizing the DAF brand name.

In June 2007 I moved to the DAF Trucks After Sales Department where I started working for the MDI (Managed Dealer Inventory) department. Focusing on the markets Spain and Portugal I can finally make use of my Spanish knowledge in my work.
