About Me

Mitchel van Emmerik

With over 15 years of experience in IT, web development, and system management, I am a versatile and driven technology professional with a passion for building reliable, efficient, and user-friendly digital solutions. Currently based in The Randstad, Netherlands, I have built my career at Guidance B.V., where I work across multiple disciplines — from full-stack PHP development and ASP.NET web engineering to network and systems management.

My technical foundation was laid early, starting with helpdesk support and web development roles where I quickly developed a broad skill set spanning front-end, back-end, infrastructure, and security. Over the years, I have grown into a multi-faceted IT professional capable of managing complex systems, leading technical teams, and delivering web projects from concept to completion.

Beyond my professional work, I am deeply committed to community and volunteering. I bring a unique combination of hands-on technical knowledge, teaching ability — demonstrated through years of training users on Stentor software — and a community-first mindset.
