My name is Bas, and I’ve always been drawn to computers and technical problem-solving. Early in my career, I discovered a passion for hands-on troubleshooting and optimizing equipment, which ultimately led me to join Advantech – where I’ve now been for almost two years. I was attracted by the company’s international scope and strong focus on the medical sector, which allows me to use my skills to support clinicians and patients worldwide. What I love most about my role is the balance between independent lab work and collaborating with colleagues and clients, learning from diverse experiences every day.
