Koen Luyten
Coding ArchitectPassion
Scuba diving, traveling, eating good food and tasting a good rum.
Talent
My ability to connect with the customer and my genuine interest in their business and problem domains. This helps me to challenge the status-quo and translate their needs into a better technical solution.
My source of inspiration
People I’ve worked with that are experts in their field and still take the time to coach and mentor others.
This makes me happy
Spending quality time with my wife and kids.
Sharing knowledge, whether it’s amongst colleagues or when teaching scuba diving.
Being part of a team of equal minded people.
My ultimate Epic Shit moments
That moment when my team turned from a group of individuals to a real team that lifted one another through trust, compassion, radical candor and the will to do better.
The songs that gets me started
Depends on the situation:
When I’m into “the zone”, anything with a catchy beat:
– Voodoo People (Prodigy)
– Rammstein (Rammstein)
– Blue Hotel (Chris Isaak)
– Bongo Bong (Manu Chao)
– …
When I need to focus, I will put on my noise canceling earphones and turn on some piano music.
