Edwin van Verseveld

Edwin van Verseveld I'm a creative technical teamlead with an intrinsic interest in information security, privacy and content strategy, always trying to explore new innovative ways to deliver content to target audiences. I have a great deal of experience in large-scale crossmedial projects and working in agile environments.

In leading technical teams my main focus is on content and users, but also on coaching team members. In the projects I've done I have had many different roles, e.g. productowner, scrum master and stakeholder. In all cases I've acted as an agile coach.

I'm inspired, pragmatic and highly dedicated to my work. In my spare time I read up on the latest trends in the fields of internet, apps, IOT, mobile game development and gadgets.

Boer zoekt Vrouw

Boer zoekt Vrouw

Boer zoekt Vrouw (Farmer seeks Wife) is one of the top tv-programmes by a public broadcaster in the Netherlands, both on television and online. When the programme is aired there are usually about 100.000 visiters per day. But when there is no active season on tv, the website is also a much visited website for news and gossip about farmers of previous seasons.

Using the proprietary CMS OBEN and using smart contenttagging, we were able to extend the userexperience and keep our audience engaged. One of the great challenges for this website was the huge number of visitors on the site seconds after each tv-episode ended. Special cachingsystems were built to keep the website stable under this heavy load and still serve (near)live content to visitors.

Om eenvoudig te kunnen vinden, maar ook verrast te worden is alles onderverdeeld in thema's en is er veel aandacht voor het zoeken en vinden van antwoorden op specifieke vragen.

OBEN CMS / KRO-NCRV

KRO-NCRV

At public broadcaster KRO we created a CMS with a special focus on content en metadata. Not creating webpages, but only metadated content, made it possible to create a context-independent hierarchy of content, making the data futureproof. This model would currently be called a headless CMS.

Separating content, structure and design created the possibility to use content on different platforms/systems through smart API's.
