Gerry
Hello! I am Gerry Hendrickx, a computer science engineer working in IT since 2012 and founder of Hendrickx Consulting. I’m from the Mechelen region in Belgium, working mainly for client in the Brussels area.
I started of my career as a developer for an international consulting firm. Over the past years, I’ve worked for a number a different clients, ranging from insurance and banking to the public sector. I grew from a developer role into more team leading, project management and architecture, but still prefer to keep close contact with coding. It is my belief that in order to succeed as a project manager and architect, a heavy technical background is a big plus. Additionally, in this ever changing IT landscape, it is important to keep on learning, and remain up to speed with the latest and greatest developments in the field of IT. This can be a challenge, because working full time and combining this with a family life is not an easy job in itself, so the time to spend on learning is sparse. Nevertheless it’s needed, and this I why I decided to set up this blog.
Blogging for me is not a way to make money, or build a reputation. In first instance, blogging provides me with a way to learn new things and understand them deeper by trying to explain it in a post. If someone finds value in my posts, then I couldn’t be more happy to share.
The main topics that I’ll be writing about are:
- Software Architecture
- Artificial Intelligence
- Cognitive Services
- Cloud Development
I hope you’ll find something useful for you on this blog. I’ll always refer to the documentation/guides that I used to jumpstart my learning, so you’ll be able to follow the same tracks.
Happy reading, Gerry
