Senior Software Architect / Developer

At 112Motion, Minto is assigned the task to guarantee that functional wishes can not only be realized but also lead to future proof and scalable solutions. The aim is to come up with generic solutions where possible.

An example of this is a system (TraeckIt) for storing, distributing and processing sensor data (from inhouse developed wearable devices). This system can store and distribute information from new sensors without requiring any modification to the system. For processing purposes it is able to integrate with 3rd party solutions in a generic configurable way.

In addition to the design and implementation of TraeckIt, Minto has a full technical overview. This includes custom designed wearable devices and the in house developed business rules engine.

Company description:
112Motion is a young company that focuses on fall detection and prevention for mainly the elderly. To this end, they developed their own hard- and software that makes it possible to monitor the target audience on various aspects. It not only encourages the target audience to exercise more (which reduces the risk of falling), but it also actively reacts in the event of fall incidents.

With the technology (Annotations) of the Digimelding project, it is also possible to record first address of residence for labor immigrants when issueing new citizen service numbers. With the experiences gained earlier, we have succeeded in setting up an annotation model for first addresses of residence. This made it possible to record these addresses in the previously developed AStore.

Minto has not only designed the technical solution but also did nearly the entire software development. To allow Reva to go into production at the same time as RNI, work was carried out under extreme time pressure. We succeeded getting Reva ready in time whereas RNI required some delay.

Despite high time pressure, we have succeeded in building an extremely stable application. In fact, no production disruption has occurred since it was taken into production. This despite the fact that the number of participating municipalities is also considerably larger than initially anticipated.

Project description:
The Non-Residents Registration system (RNI) records a limited set of personal data. However not the first address of residence, since there was no legislation yet. However to support municipalities a pilot project called ‘Registratie Eerste Verblijfadres Arbeidsmigraten’ (REVA) was started.

“I am glad Minto was part of my team. You can count on Minto when a sprint needs to be completed with hardly no issues left. He is very reliable, transparant and understands how to 'Scrum' . Besides his extensive knowledge he is eager to learn new things and takes the time to explain when necessary. I will not hesitate a second, who to pick to complete my team next time.”

Udo Pijpker (02-2015):
“Minto is a very professional and skilled software architect & developer who understands that what he is doing is part of a bigger picture. He can make decisions with this bigger picture in mind and has shown a very good insight in the way government in the Netherlands works with his continuous efforts to make Digimelding 2.0 and REVA flexible, solid and futureproof. And last but not least: Minto is a great guy to work with. Relaxed & nice but honest & outspoken when he thinks things can be done better.”

With the AuthorizationHub (AH) Minto took an API First approach. Where he first described the external and internel interfaces (API) of the authorization hub based on Rest principles. To formalise this approahc he introduced OpenAPI, as a result the interface is not only well documented, but can also maintained quite easily under version control.

Minto has applied a "pluggable" approach to the implementation, as a result underlying authorization systems can be added by means of a plugin. The result is that new authorization providers can be added without having to adjust the AH itself.

A CI / CD pipeline has been set up so new versions can, quickly and automatically, be rolled out to a (Pivotal) Cloud Foundry environment.

Project description:
As a result of the merger of Rabobank Nederland with Rabobank International, the bank had 3 systems for managing access rights for its end users. In preparation for migration to a single system, it was decided to decouple the authori-zation information from the actual underlying systems through an abstration layer, AuthorizationHub (AH).

“Worked with Minto in the same scrum team. He was a java development lead within the team. He is proactive, initiated the discussions / brain storm sessions. Minto is a team player, communicative, supportive, helpful & always shared his knowledge.”
