Hi! I’m Dietrich (he/him), co-owner at Bjièn, an independent consultancy from Ghent, Belgium.
I speak, 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 & agility. I have experience with extending and maintaining SaaS platforms and coaching agile software teams, and have developed online applications since 2003 using PHP (including Laravel), Python, Go, JavaScript, Ruby, etc.
Organisations I have worked with/for include Proximus, Zomentum, Voka, Government of Flanders, 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.
