Hi, I’m Albert Klein Boonschate, based in Deventer/Diepenveen. I was born in Deventer on 1978-02-22. I am married to Jasmijn and father to Mare and Eke. I come from a family with an agricultural background and have two older brothers and a younger sister. I am entrepreneurial, independent, loyal, creative and analytical, with a strong ability to focus on the details and the big picture. I thrive in environments that encourage collaboration, new ideas and continuous learning, where I can grow and contribute by setting up, maintaining and securely developing applications. My work focuses on building trustworthy software foundations, API integrations and backend systems, delivered for a variety of clients. I also have a lifelong love of music—initially as a guitarist, now as a drummer—and I still play in the Stellar Express band, which has earned awards and appears on Spotify.
