Speaker on tech & innovation

The audience goes on an adventure! We travel to Gabon, Romania, Zambia & Zimbabwe. Countries I've been to to protect endangered animals like elephants and rhinoceroses.

Discover how technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) can have a positive impact on the world around us. I tell you how we make these non-profit projects possible, what drives me as a techie and what challenges we face. I show that it is possible to make an impact in the most unexpected places and hope to inspire and activate the public. My talks are suitable for a technical and non-technical audience, so for everyone 😇

“Still feeling inspired after recently seeing Thijs present at the UX Strat conference in Amsterdam. Thijs is an enthusiastic and energising speaker with a fantastic story to tell!”

“Thijs really has a story! He knows what thinking outside the box is! With his experience he shows how you can invent the most brilliant solutions by keeping it simple. Technical solutions for social, economic and scientific problems. Thijs takes you into solutions that you would not have thought possible. Afterwards you really start to think about your own work. Am I doing the right things and am I doing them as effectively as possible? Recommended.”

Some more about me

As a boy I was already interested in technology, with my very first computer (thanks Dad) I immediately started gaming and programming, a true nerd. 😉

Years later, things started to gnaw: "Nice all that technology... But what have I really achieved with all those lines of code?!"

That got me thinking about how I can make my technical skills really useful. Now I work with Hack The Planet (part of Q42) on technical solutions to make the world a little better. Whether it concerns making young people aware of the dangers of online bullying & sexual abuse or protecting elephants and other endangered animals, I try to contribute with my technical skills.

In addition to working with technology on a daily basis, I also like to be on stage to share my knowledge and inspire people.
