"Compact Amsterdamse Paedo-Audiometrische Screener" (1988-1993)
Developed a prototype of "CAPAS" for the NSDSK (Dutch foundation for deaf children). CAPAS is a machine which can measure how well the ears of very young children work. By determining hearing problems as soon as possible, CAPAS allows optimal treatment of children with hearing problems. Currently CAPAS machines are used to screen all children in the Netherlands at the age of 9 months. My own kids have been screened as well, a neat way to meet your own work.

HyperPacs (1989-1993)
Developed a complete Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) / teleradiology system for Eudnics BV. I developed this application from scratch together with Robert Lindeman. Currently HyperPacs is used in over 130 medical institutions all over the world.

UltraCompressor II (1992-1996)
UltraCompressor II (UC2) is a private project of myself and Danny Bezemer. UC2 compresses 10-50% better than PKZIP. We have sold licenses all over the world through the Internet. In the end the datacompressor "war" was won by WinZIP. This was the last time I underestimated the importance of good looks, user friendliness and "keeping it as simple as possible". You can still download UC2.

If you are interested in datacompression the Lossless Datacompression Kit I made in 1992 might be a good place to start. In contains the C source of many different compression methods. The full source code of UC2 is also available for those who are interested in looking at it. If you want to do more than look please contact me.


Multi Project Planner (MPP) for Windows (1993-1995)
Lead a development team to create the first Windows version of Multi Project Planner (MPP) for UCC. MPP is based on Microsoft Project and is designed for large organizations with lots of projects and dedicated resource managers. MPP is used in over 10 large Dutch companies.

MPP 98:


TheCLQ.COM / AllGameServers.COM (1998-2003, 2008-2012)
The original CLQ site (1998-2003) was a successful high traffic site with 200,000,000 pageviews. The original CLQ kept track of 30,000,000 online game players playing 150 different games. It did this by scanning 600,000 game servers every two minutes collecting 250,000,000 minutes of gameplay data every week. To achieve the amount of data processing needed for this I have build a custom IMDB (in memory database) which is capable of processing 100,000 transactions per second.

The Dutch television program Business Update did have an item on The CLQ.

In 2008 I created a new TheCLQ site from scratch and also made it available as AllGameServers.com. The new site is based on Open Source technology.

Content Managent System (CMS) (1999-2002)
CMS is a "keep it simple" content management system where the user only needs a browser for WYSIWYG content management. In only 8 months CMS was created from scratch and implemented at 8 customer sites.

BigBattleServers.com (2007-2012)
Big Battle Servers is an active online community where thousands of people play online video games and hundreds of people are active on the forum and in the AJAX chat box.

Unreal Tournament 3 modifications (2007-2008)
Created several extentions to the UT3 game, e.g. BattleRPG and Battle Team Arena. Also submitted these to the "Make Something Unreal Contest" and won several prizes.

Google Android Apps (2009-2012)
I created a few apps for the Google Android platform to learn how the platform works, especially when you want superfast (native) applications. Small 2D physics toy.

OpenIMS (2002-2012)
OpenIMS is an open platform for CMS (content), DMS (documents), EMS (e-mail), PS (portals) and BPMS (business processes and electronic forms). The OpenIMS site contains detailed information about OpenIMS.
