Introduction
Hello, I am Richard van Dijk.
I am a student at Avans University of Applied Sciences in Breda. I’m currently studying Business, IT and Management. Besides my passion for computers and information technology I also enjoy building websites. That’s why I started my own company called Van Dijk Webservices in 2016.
Professional Profile
After my graduation at the Avans University I plan on following a masters degree at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. I have yet to decide which master that will be, but there’s plenty of masters that connect nicely to my current studies.
With my own company, Van Dijk Webservices, I mainly focus on providing cheap yet reliable webhosting and webdesign/websites with a personal customer approach. So far I have been able to grow slowly but surely and since March of 2018 I have a VPS in one of the fastest datacenters in Europe.

Albert Heijn Giessenburg
I started working at the local supermarket of my town in 2012. Since I really enjoyed working there I asked my boss if I could work more often (back then I only worked on Saturdays). My boss agreed and scheduled me on a couple of weekdays. I got more and more involved into the supermarket and as of today I’m leading the group of shelf stackers on Saturday morning.

Skills
Through my own company I have learned to work with WordPress. WordPress is incredibly useful for building beautiful websites such as portfolio, galleries and webshops. Although I’m fairly competent with WordPress, I still want to learn everything about it.
Webdevelopment also requires a set of HTML/CSS skills as well as other programming/coding skills. I have acquired these at the DaVinci College and Avans University as well as learning by doing.
