Hi! I’m Dietrich (he/him), co-owner at Bjièn, an independent consultancy from Ghent, Belgium.
I talk, train and consult on neurodiversity at work and building resilient, productive and neuro-inclusive teams. Neurodiversity? That’s the diversity in the human brain – think ADHD, autism, dyslexia, Tourette’s, or other conditions, and people that are highly sensitive, introverted, or intellectually gifted.
Next to that, I provide freelance consulting in software engineering and team resilience and agility. I have experience with extending and maintaining SaaS platforms and coaching software teams, and have developed online applications since 2003 using PHP (Laravel and others), Python, Go, JavaScript, Ruby, and more.
Organisations I have worked with/for include Zomentum, Voka, Government of Flanders, Stampix, Teamleader, Carrefour, and UCB.
Finally, I’m a founder and co-organiser of Breaking the Silos, hosting events and gatherings on breaking siloed thinking and improving collaboration within Belgian organisations.
