I am Maarten, a dedicated Scrum Master with experience in scaling agile teams (Scrum and Kanban). I gain energy from aligning myself with an organisations Vision (help define it if needed!) and the motivated people within it. Using that energy to drive the organisation and its delivery teams towards the resulting shared goals and objectives by closely working with them to continuously improve their practices and performance based on agile models and techniques.
Let's win together, but also loose together (in a controlled way, for learning purposes of course!)
Toyota Motor Europe - Customer Portal
Sep 2017 – Present
Toyota Motor Europe offers a combination of various B2C and B2B IT solutions to the European markets for both the Toyota and Lexus brand which are then configured and used by said markets to best fulfil the needs of their customers. Most relevant are the main website and the mobile app.
For this project our scope was mainly focused on bringing new value to the Customer Portal part of the website but also included various integration- and other enabler work for other parts of the website or the mobile app.
In order to achieve results in my activities I had to evolve different skills:
I worked in a Scrum team specialised in custom development. Beside developing I also did various technical interviews for people that wanted to join the company as well as helped our solution manager with making proposals for new projects. Below are the main projects I did:
Toyota Motor Europe - Customer Portal
Sep 2017 – Present, Brussels
As Senior developer I was part of the initial auditing and pre-sales team that won the project. I was a core member of the first team where I not only developed but also coached/trained new developers joining the project until I became a Scrum Master.
More in-depth information about the project and my new role as Scrum Master can be found above.
Technical Environment:
React, Redux, Node.js, Express, Heroku, Bamboo, BitBucket, Visual Studio Code, SQL Server 2012, Javascript, Html, css, MongoDB, ES6, babel, webpack, bower, npm, jquery, Passport, esLint, marionettejs

R&D Chatbots
Jun 2017, Heverlee
Define a methodology on the integration of a chatbot at a company.
Technical Environment:
Bot Framework, Cognitive Services

Toyota Motor Europe - Network Kpi
May 2016 – Jul 2016, Heverlee
Network KPI is a new web tool made for Toyota that allows them to gather KPIs from their NMSCs so that this data can be used in their PowerBI tools. This web tool replaces an Excel-based solution with a much more user-friendly interface conform with the Toyota styling standards and a more reliable way to get the correct data.
Technical Environment:
React, Redux, Node.js, Express, Heroku, Git, Visual Studio Code, SQL Server 2012, Javascript, Html, css, mssql, ES6, babel, webpack, bower, npm, jquery, Passport, Mocha

Total - Contractor Portal
Dec 2014 – Mar 2016, Heverlee
Total Contractor Portal is the new web portal for contractors that want to work for Total Antwerp. It is the main entry point for new contractors to present their company, offer their services to Total Antwerp, and request for an approval to make sure their employees are allowed to enter the different sites of Total.
As a management tool, it helps external contractors and Total employees in their daily administration. Documents, employee details and site entrance requests are handled and stored in one central place and the tool makes the follow-up of contractors and people access more transparent.
Contractors can register their company as a candidate for collaboration with Total, manage their documents requested by Total, add and manage employees, add and manage sub-contractors and keep track of their own approval state.
Total co-workers can manage contractor requests in a structured way, keep track of documents needed to get approved as a contractor for Total Antwerp and handle the complete approval flow of companies and employee access to the different sites of Total Antwerp.
Technical Environment:
.NET 4.5.2, C#, MVC 5, Web API 2, ASP.NET Identity 2, Durandal.js, Require.js, Knockout.js, I18Next, Entity Framework, SQL Server 2012, IIS 8.5, Windows 2012, Bootstrap 3, Visual Studio 2013
Time-sheet tool
Mar 2014 ~ Jun 2014
I developed a responsive, mobile-first web application to fill in time-sheets. The goal was to make it easier and faster for employees of the company to fill in their time-sheets by providing a lightweight, portable alternative application that lives next to the more advanced existing application. Using the same back-end.
A couple of things required for this project were:
- UX/UI design
- User research (questioning and testing)
- Development in JQuery Mobile
Technical Environment:
Javascript, MSSQL, JQuery, JQuery Mobile, IIS, Ajax
Bachelor's degree, Applied Informatics - Software Development
