Hi,

I am a native of the Netherlands, live in Mountain View, California, and moved there in the summer of 1991 after starting a company, first called Storm Technology, later Storm Software, and then Storm Technology again. After I left Storm in May of 1998, I took a long vacation and started working as a consultant under the business name “Starfield Consulting.” I worked for about a year as CTO and VP of Engineering at CertifiedTime, Inc., but then returned to consulting. For many years, I was a consultant and acting VP of Engineering at eHarmony, building their initial web app, designing their high-performance internal matching architecture, and designing and implementing a highly redundant data center with about 120 servers.
