It must have been in the year 2012 that I first came across NEO. I attended a number of meetings where NSO consulted industry on the setting up of the National Satellite Data Portal. NEO was also present here as a stakeholder and has now been providing pre-processing of images in the portal for several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 2013 to 2019, I worked as a GIS specialist and project manager for Soil Cares Research, a company that developed services based on sensor technology for determining nutrient levels in soil, feed and crops. Through the IJKakker project, I ran into NEO again. NEO supplied images to Akkerweb within which various applications were developed for precision agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I got to know NEO best through our collaboration within the CROPMON project. As project leader, I had the pleasure of working with NEO and a consortium of other companies and (semi-)governmental organisations to develop an information service for farmers in Kenya over four years. CROPMON provided nearly 200,000 farmers with a local weather forecast every week. And crop growth was monitored for more than 35,000 plots (for the crops coffee, sugarcane, maize, grass and wheat).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Soil Cares Research sadly went bankrupt at the end of 2019, I was employed by Weather Impact (its 'almost' neighbours at Stadsring 57, Amersfoort) for 6 months, completing administrative matters and reporting for the CROPMON project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I am all set to start working for NEO with a clean slate and fresh courage. I will take on the management of several ongoing projects and will start working on new business propositions within the agriculture sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my spare time, I am active as a singer\/composer\/bandleader of metal bands 'Lord Volture', 'Black Knight' and 'Thorium'. I also enjoy sports (survival runs) and am very interested in history.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After graduating from Wageningen University as a geo-informatics specialist in 2011, I joined the remote sensing company WaterWatch (now eLEAF) as a junior researcher.
