Frank van den Tillaart’s Summary

I am an expert in understanding the wishes of the customer with regard to software products and services. To correctly and fully interpret these wishes I translate them into functional descriptions. From a functional description I create the project plan and the functional design.

At all times my personal goals are to built high quality, easy-to-use applications. Even when at first the goal seems very complicated.

To provide the best service to the customer, I work with many project members. These project members have professions like user experience design, quality, product management, marketing, industrial design, technical support, and last but not least software developers.

Since the start of my professional working career in January 2003 I have worked together with people from all over Europe, Taiwan, the United States of America, again the United states of America and Belarus.
