Dennis Bijlsma

Product Manager • Software Engineer • Consultant

This website started out as a portfolio, way back in 2002 when I was studying Media Technology. I've changed a lot since then, and this website has slowly evolved into a collection of talks, articles, and events that I've been involved in during my professional life.

Nowadays, I work at the Software Improvement Group as Director of Product, where our product has been named industry leader in technical debt management by Gartner. If you want to know what I was up to before that, see my CV.

In addition to all of the above, I like The Killers, Juventus, walking around obscure countries, spicy food, festivals, and books about ridiculous subjects.
