van Drongelen

van Drongelen

Mike van Drongelen works as a mobile solution consultant in the Netherlands. He develops Android, iOS, and .NET solutions for various customers and has some start-up projects of his own. Creating successful software using less code is what he is aiming for. He thinks developing software is fun, but waste is not. Too often the business guys do not fully understand the tech guys and the other way around. This, amongst other insights, explains why he is interested in the lean start-up methodology and why he thinks it is important to apply to mobile app development. When he is not developing apps, he likes to go on trips on his motorbike or with his 2 CV.
