Lee Provoost is a Senior Technical Consultant at Headshift with a focus on large enterprise projects and partnerships.
At 18, Lee’s dream was to become an investment banker, but when he discovered the noble art of Perl programming (regular expressions anyone?) in his first year of economics, he switched to computer science. After combining a master in programming language and compiler design at the University of Utrecht with a job as lead PHP developer for an Internet startup, Lee joined a large global IT consultancy firm. Over three years, Lee explored the wonderful world of integrating Microsoft, SAP, Java and open source systems at various international clients. Once in a while, the geek donned a suit and helped internal business units and clients understand the disruptive change that emerging technologies can bring to their business.
At Headshift, Lee combines his expertise in nitty-gritty systems integration and dealing with the “IT stability vs. business agility”-tension at large companies with his passion for emerging technologies.
Lee has previously lived and worked in Belgium, the Netherlands and India. He now lives in London. You can follow his ongoing stream of thoughts on Twitter: http://twitter.com/leeprovoost.
