Hi. I'm Paul Sijben.

I get my energy from solving problems so that people’s lives are improved. My tool of choice is IT technology. Sometimes, the problem is simply solved by asking the right questions or connecting the right people, that is fine by me too.
My power is rapid generation of a vision for an area (already known or new to me), coming up with the steps to refine the challenge at hand and get clarity on what really needs addressing, checking the business case and coming to a solution both on paper and, if useful, a prototype.  I strive to get to the simplest solution possible, but no simpler.
You will find me to be a self-motivated very quick thinker who can also present, write down and, if needed, code what was thought out. I am a maker who gets things off-the ground. I am in my element on the path from idea/desire/problem to first-solution. I love to solve problems systematically and at the same time with momentum.
As soon as the solution needs to be further productized, I am happy to hand the project over to go to the next challenging topic.
My natural position is  to work with a product owner or customer regarding their ask, to get their requirements clear and manageable. Then, top-down find out how the problem needs to be solved.
When available, I love to work with specialists on the data, the infrastructure etc. Where required, I will go into the details myself. 
I am driven by the urgency of accomplishment, I get my energy from getting results now, not later. I bring a very broad and deep knowledge of many areas of ICT, internet/cloud applications, internet services and telephony services, very good skills in writing technical documentation and self-taught IoT hardware & software development (Raspberry Pi, Arduino).
I like to employ my skills in an environment with equally fast-thinking people with similar or supplementary skills to really create something new that adds value and new capabilities to people’s lives.
