Marc de Kwant’s Summary

Brede ervaring op het J2EE vlak. Spring, Hibernate en Java Server Faces zijn zeker geen onbekenden. Daarnaast veel gewerkt met vele andere technieken/methoden behorende tot J2EE.

Verder heb ik ook veel ervaring met Adobe Flex, actionscript, Life Cycle Data Services en BlazeDS.

Op management gebied heb ik ervaring als projectleider, teamleider en Lead Engineer.

Ik ben altijd op zoek naar een nieuwe uitdaging. Het opzetten van Software architecturen en integratie/interfacing tussen (legacy) systemen hebben mijn voorkeur.

(English)
