Senior🎓
Top SchoolHenk Van Den Berg is a retired linguist based in Amsterdam with 11 years of professional IT and packaging engineering experience rooted in a long career spanning application development, quality assurance, and systems integration. Trained as a linguist (MA) and Dutch language specialist, he transitioned into technical roles at Atos and major clients—packaging and testing Windows installer packages, application virtualization, and deployment for enterprise environments. He holds ITIL and PRINCE2 foundations and has acted as a bridge between technical teams and stakeholders, often serving as intake analyst, QA agent, and consultant on complex migration projects. Henk’s background uniquely combines deep language and teaching skills (including Dutch for Afrikaans speakers) with hands-on legacy programming (COBOL, PL/I) and modern packaging toolsets, reflecting an ability to translate between human and technical domains. Despite health-driven early retirement, he maintained active reintegration and consultancy roles through 2021, demonstrating resilience and adaptability.
