Frans Meijer

Contra verbosos noli contendere verbis; sermo datur cunctis, animi sapientia paucis.

I'm a motivated and creative professional with a passion for technology which knows a thing or two regarding programming languages, networking, databases & all sorts of on-prem and cloud solutions.

Utilizing my expertises, along with my ability to work independently and collaborate effectively within a team, I aim to provide exceptional work and contribute to the success of the organization.

Currently (> April 2023) i'm attending an masterclass within VodafoneZiggo to become a multiskilled Big Data Engineer which in my case is with a focus on AWS infrastructure and security. This website is a result of this journey.

All in all i'm learning everyday and like to solve all the mysteries `the cloud` has to offer ;)

Regards,

Frans

I started working with VodafoneZiggo in the contact center which involves interacting with customers or clients over the phone, email, or chat to address their inquiries, provide support, or handle issues. My main task was helping customers via e-mail while learning all the systems and master all the processes & politics that are involved behind the scenes of a customer journey.

In these years i've co-founded a webbased tool called `Performance Management Tool` PMT for short. Which was build in native PHP, JQuery, Highcharts and such on a basic level. This tool provided PI/KPI insights for all contact center guides, teamleads and managers.
