Gien Verschatse (@selketjah) is a software developer with 10 years of experience, mainly in a .NET environment, who likes to start her day with coffee. She specialises in bridging the gap between users and developers by practising Domain-Driven Design. Besides that, she loves to learn how teams can improve the way they make decisions both on a technical and organisational level.
She is a strong believer of continuous learning by deliberate practice and sharing knowledge, which is why she dedicates a lot of her free time speaking at conferences and user groups. She also helps to organise F# conferences: Open FSharp and F# Europe.
When she is not busy with all of the above, you will find her on the sofa, reading a book (yes, with coffee).
