Background and Hiring Journey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sander Vriesman has worked at Albron for over fourteen years and knows exactly what it takes to guide talent in technical roles. \u201cAt Albron, things move fast and innovation is constant,\u201d Sander says. \u201cYusuf Kazan and Said Emre Alcin joined our team as Mendix Developers through Motopp, and their motivation is something truly unique within our organization.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Sander wasn\u2019t involved in their initial hiring, he immediately recognized their extraordinary drive. \u201cThey come from very different backgrounds\u2014Said was even a criminal defense lawyer. Switching to IT was a major adjustment, but their determination helped them pick things up incredibly quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said explains: \u201cI had no prior IT experience, but Motopp taught me the fundamentals. They also provided Mendix and Squadapps training, which gave me the foundation I needed. Conversations with my People Development Manager, Stefan van der Munnik, really encouraged me to keep pushing forward. My legal background also helped\u2014I learned how to present and communicate clearly in court, which now serves me well at Albron.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Trust From Day One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For Sander, trust is the cornerstone of a successful team. \u201cWhen I bring someone on board, I give them 300% trust from the start. That\u2019s the basis for any strong working relationship,\u201d he emphasizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That trust gave Yusuf and Said the space to quickly onboard and start working independently. Despite language barriers\u2014Dutch is the primary language at Albron\u2014they adapted quickly and found their place in the team. \u201cCreating an open and direct work culture is crucial,\u201d says Sander. \u201cTransparent communication and clear expectations make a big difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Integration and Team Diversity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One initial challenge was integrating into the team quickly. Most team members are Dutch-speaking, which made communication in group settings occasionally difficult. \u201cLanguage can be a barrier,\u201d Sander acknowledges. \u201cEspecially during fast-paced discussions, it can be hard for them to fully participate. To support them, we\u2019re offering extra help, including language courses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Sander is also quick to highlight the benefits of diversity: \u201cDiversity brings new perspectives and strengthens team collaboration. It\u2019s not just about culture\u2014it\u2019s about people who see things differently and challenge the status quo in positive ways.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s impressed by the openness of the Motoppers: \u201cThey\u2019re always eager to learn and open to feedback. That kind of mindset makes working with them a real pleasure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said adds: \u201cIn the beginning, you make mistakes, but that\u2019s how you learn. Over time, I\u2019ve become more confident in my work. The environment at Albron is very supportive. Language is still a challenge sometimes, but I\u2019m learning more every day by asking questions and embracing those challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical Growth and Project Work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a technical standpoint, Yusuf and Said have made remarkable progress in a short time. Thanks to their training at Motopp, they were ready to start working with Mendix from day one. \u201cTheir foundation was solid, and their learning curve has only accelerated since,\u201d says Sander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTheir drive to improve and grow is an inspiration to the whole team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their first few months, they worked on several projects, including developing an application for reporting system issues. Yusuf built the initial version, and Said later took over and refined it. This hands-on experience helped them better understand their own skills and strengths. \u201cIt was their project,\u201d Sander says. \u201cI gave them the freedom to explore and figure things out on their own. What really impressed me was how they not only implemented new features but also identified and fixed bugs without needing my help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Areas for Growth and Future Potential<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sander sees strong potential in both. \u201cYusuf is fast and proactive, which is great to see. Said has a calmer approach, but he\u2019s making steady progress.\u201d Sander is confident about their future in the company: \u201cMendix plays a critical role at Albron, and I see Yusuf and Said continuing to make valuable contributions to our digital solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What stands out most to him is their resilience and curiosity. \u201cThey genuinely want to understand things, they want to solve problems. Despite their different styles and backgrounds, both bring real value to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Yusuf agrees: \u201cWithout the training from Motopp, I wouldn\u2019t have been able to jump straight into a company. The guidance from a former colleague and from Sander helped a lot too. I\u2019ve pushed myself to get better at working with Mendix, and it\u2019s paying off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Partnership with Motopp<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Sander, the collaboration with Motopp has been extremely rewarding. He values the fresh perspectives and energy that Yusuf and Said bring. \u201cIt depends on the person, of course,\u201d he says, \u201cbut I\u2019ve been lucky to have two fantastic team members with incredible drive. For companies considering a similar path, I say: go for it. Give these professionals a fair shot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also praises Motopp\u2019s approach to coaching and long-term support: \u201cMotopp doesn\u2019t just teach technical skills\u2014they also teach their trainees how to communicate effectively and thrive within a team. That\u2019s something we clearly see in the way Yusuf and Said contribute here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a smile, he adds: \u201cThey\u2019ve made a real impact on our team and on what we\u2019re trying to achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
