About Michiel
Hi, I’m Michiel, alive since 1984, online since 1995 and in business since 2000. I was born in the Netherlands and still live there.
Currently, most of my time is spent on mobile app and backend development at Networkapp. I’m also heavily involved in keeping our ISO27001 certificate.
I think the best word to describe my interests is: creation. Whether it’s building web applications, programming, designing, carving stones, dreaming about new concepts or starting our business… It all comes down to creativity: I strongly feel the need to create something new.
In my spare time I try to get better at playing guitar, piano and singing.
You can always contact me at michiel@vanvlaardingen.com.
