About

Born and raised in the Netherlands, I moved to California in 1996 to start a job at the Consulate General of the Netherlands in Los Angeles. In 2010 the consulate re-located to San Francisco, and I moved to the East Bay.

After 23 years as Foreign Service Officer, it was time for a career change. Having been a passionate programmer for many years, I decided to join a 16-week immersive boot camp at Rithm School in San Francisco. In August 2020 I graduated.

In December 2020, I started my first Full-Stack Software Engineering job at Dovenmuehle Mortgage, Inc. in San Francisco. Please continue to read about my training, skills, career, and to download my resume. If you want to connect, please message me on LinkedIn.

Best regards,

Marco van Vemden
