As of May 2014 I started my own travel company where I offer the following services: - Designing custom made travel itineraries based on the customers personal wishes and preferences - Arranging and carrying out all the necessary practical tasks regarding flights or other forms of transport to and from the desired destination, local transport, accommodation, excursions, local guides, restaurant reservation and so on. To go short: everything that can be arranged prior to departure. - Hiring me as their personal tour guide during the customers holiday / journey. In this case I am your personal guide from the moment of departure at the airport until the moment you will return home. My responsibility divides up in two parts. Firstly, as your personal tour guide, I will be your 'beacon of knowledge" during the full length of your journey. Subjects include: history, religion, customs, food tradition, nature, wildlife, local habits, basic skills of the native language and so on, Secondly, I will be your facilitator once we've arrived at your destination. You don't have to think about how to get somewhere, where to sleep that night, what time you need to get back without having to worry about any dangers. I've got it covered for you. Just sit back, relax and enjoy your holiday. This includes all the arrangements needed regarding transport (planes, trains, tuktuks etc), accommodation (check in and out in house facilities), excursions, local markets, shopping, restaurants (recommendations, transport to and from these places) and so on. My services apply to the following countries: Australia (incl Fiji), Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, China (Shandong & Zhejiang), Greece, Italy, Spain and Czech Republic. The countries that are covered within this service include only those countries that I have been travelling extensively to over the last 20 years. That is why I can offer a wide range of services and knowledge about these countries, because I have obtained it firsthand.

Together with Karel van Zijl I've designed and delivered a web development coding bootcamp for refugees in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The goal of this bootcamp is to empower refugees from a variety of countries with technical skills (web development) to kickstart their career as a junior developer and being able to support their family with a steady income. The bootcamp was sponsored by Octa, who made it possible to offer this bootcamp without hefty costs involved for the participants. We've developed a full course curriculum from scratch for this bootcamp which was set up in three stages. Content covered are computer science fundamentals, programming basics, basic data structures, web dev tools / languages / libraries (HTML/CSS/JavaScript/Node.JS/React.JS) including a strong focus on back-end solutions with databases/SQL as a main component. We've used XAMPP web server to practice and MySQL to build a dedicated webshop at the end of stage 2. Check out the Status 200 website for more details and if you're interested in sponsoring this bootcamp for future editions!

In 2022-2023 school year I became the Head of Science on top of my teaching duties. IB Computer Science, Computer Science elective and Software Design Technology are the subjects I teach. Web design and development ( HTML/CSS/JavaScript ) and introduction in algorithm design (flowcharts design in Draw.IO and Raptor/programming concepts and implementation in Python) are covered in the electives. As of 2023 I teach an extra elective (CS2) covering OOP and Data Science. Additional tasks include supervising the ASA activities MKISHacks, a student led club for aspiring programmers, CFM (Computer For Malaysia), a student led club where we refurbish computers for charities and participation in coding competitions as the KL Cup with CS students. I use business simulation & project management strategies in my classes to teach my students to collaborate, plan, be accountable, using SWOT analysis and reflections. I guide students as a supervisor and subject expert in their Extended Essays (IB grade 11/12), Personal Project (PP, grade 10) and PYPX (grade 5) projects

We are very pleased with the content, facilities and organization of the training. All went perfectly fine and knowledge-wise even exceeded our expectations. I had to skip the last day due to the meetings I had at work and didn’t manage to fill in the valuation form. If possible, I’d like you to pass our thanks you and highest “mark” of our instructor Ferry Kemperman! He was very professional, extremely knowledgeable, fun and interactive! We all agreed on that.
