I’m Nico Krijnen, a software architect, tech lead and experienced software engineer. I love helping teams to find ways to increase their impact and enjoy doing that together. You’ll also regularly find me talking or giving workshops at conferences and meetups.
For a big chunk of my career, I disrupted the DAM space by building an innovative file management solution called Elvis, which is being used by media organizations all over the world. Besides leading and supporting teams and giving direction, I like to roll up my sleeves and experience first-hand how (and whether) the latest technologies work in the real world. I’m never shy of making unconventional choices to achieve radical results.
