What can I do for you?

I help you manage your helpdesk, both by phone and online. For example, technical customer service for online platforms and learning environments. I am also involved in migrating content management systems and transferring content (pages). I check for bugs and design errors in the CMS, so that the new website functions as optimally as possible.

I also work on making PDFs accessible and provide hourly estimates. This way, customers know what costs they have to take into account for making their PDFs accessible.

  • With my “antennae up”: this is how I find peace

    The theme of Autism Awareness Week this year is “What does peace of mind mean to you?” In my previous blog post, I explained that certain situations can quickly make me feel anxious. Fortunately, there are also things that do bring me peace of mind. I’ll talk about those in this blog post.

  • Does peace of mind even exist?

    The theme of Autism Awareness Week is “What does peace of mind mean to you?” When I think about it myself, I ask: “Peace of mind—do I ever really have that?” In this blog, I’ll take you on a journey through my mind.

  • What my running experience taught me about digital accessibility

    More and more organizations need to do “something” about accessibility. At first, this can be as intimidating as Mount Everest is for a mountaineer. Because there is a lot involved. For example, how do you get the organization on board? Accessibility is therefore a long-term process. It's like a marathon. As a marathon runner and digital accessibility researcher, I happen to have experience with both. Put on your running shoes, and I'll take you through the marathon process of accessibility.
