Welcome...

Let me introduce myself: Sjef Bosman, freelance Lotus Notes development consultant and website developer.

For the last 10 years, I have worked as Lotus Notes/Domino consultant, project manager, analyst, developper and administrator: requirements specifications, analysis, design, development, tests, installation and support.

Strong points: deliver the optimum solution based on a quick analysis of a system or a problem, and Lotus Notes application debugging.

1996 : first encounters with Lotus Notes. I was member of a group of project managers. We wanted to share the information about our projects, so any colleague could take over if necessary. The tool we found to achieve that goal was Lotus Notes. I installed it on an OS/2 PC, I created a Lotus Notes project database, for all our projects, clients and contacts, our activities and the technical project details. Altogether, we were very happy with the results, the performance and the quality.

1999: employed by QCM, a small consultancy company specialising in Lotus Notes solutions. I was convinced that groupware, and especially Lotus Notes, could have a great future. We realised many interesting projects and in general our clients were very satisfied. Some of then use our developments even today. Of all the projects, one of the most interesting and challenging developments was Con7's psychological tests website: tests via a browser, results in a Notes client.

2002: freelance Notes consultant. We moved to France, hoping to find a different life, a milder climate, new friends, more space and nature. And I'm happy to say we found it all. There hasn't been a single day that we wanted to go back. Sometimes it isn't easy, but I always find so much inspiration in our quiet valley that developing solution is just fun. At first, I continued to work for QCM, but gradually I got more and more work for new clients and partners.

In parallel, I took up the development of Internet sites, for clients and friends, both in HTML and in PHP/MySQL.
