CarNext

Description

For CarNext we created a new inventory management system from scratch which helps to manage their fleet of around 200 000 vehicles, in 7 countries spread over 2500 locations. Having this system, enabled the split between LeasePlan and CarNext. This allowed LeasePlan to sell CarNext to constellation group for +-2B.

My responsibilities were the following;

  • Programming the front-end application from scratch
  • Writing stories + Technical analysis
  • Organising and giving bi-weekly demo's to stakeholders
  • Occasionally taking up scrum roles (refinement, stand-up, retro, ...)
  • Guiding/pair-programming/reviewing junior developers
  • Deploying the new cloud environment using Amazon S3, CloudFront and Terraform
  • Wireframing/creating mockups for the user interface

What they said

  • Simon did an extraordinary job building a successful product from scratch as frontend developer. Far beyond development, he is of exceptional value to the team in terms of keeping up the spirit, showing initiative, working with and presenting to stakeholders and brainstorming about concrete improvements to both the product and our way of work. Simon can take ownership of problems, but never loses his sense of humor or ability to put things into perspective. I would definitely recommend hiring him, and would love to work with him in the future.
