Disclaimer: CTO Sense Health here ( http://sense-health.com/ ) We make apps to help people with depression and have our apps actively used by a small team in the biggest mental health care company in the Netherlands. It is one of the most fulfilling place I have worked at because I get to meet actual patients and psychologists and get to know how much impact we have on their lives. One of our patients messaged us one…

Will your location be impacted by brexit?

I will reconsider the UK as a place to live and work if / when it goes through as I have both British and European nationality. I believe that it is already having a negative impact on the industry as there has been a definite slow down in projects going to UK industry after the vote.

That's a shame.

I live in the Netherlands and sometimes check the careers at Noordwijk. It would be quite a nasty commute for me too.

Do you know if the ESA uses many independent contractors?

Haha, okay I will bite. What's the name of your SaaS project?

It's niche and wouldn't be useful to any readers here.

Raising my son. Playing music with my friends. Building a home and relationships with my partners. Building my body and mind through long term studies of various branches of philosophical and intellectual inquiry. Caring for specific peoples' specific needs.
