Meet Stijn, our Product Architect
Stijn Boere has been a Product Architect at Salvia BioElectronics, focusing on the startup's implant for people with severe headaches. Over the past five years, Stijn's role has evolved significantly. "It began with a hands-on and technical approach, exploring various technologies, designs, assessing risks, and strategically choosing areas for innovation. While one might be tempted to innovate in every aspect, it's essential to be realistic and strategic in your choices.”
"As a medical device engineer, experiencing the entire product development process and seeing the first successful outcomes in the clinic is a rare and fulfilling event in one's career."
This evolution is what drew Stijn, who had gained extensive experience in his previous corporate job, to deliberately join a startup. Though it may sound cliché, for him, the allure of "making a meaningful impact" is the driving force behind choosing to work for a startup. "You can take on significant responsibilities and witness firsthand how your contributions directly impact the company's progress."
As a Product Architect, Stijn plays a pivotal role in bringing together diverse disciplines within his team, such as how mechanical design choices directly impact the system's efficiency and user experience.
Team work
In the team, Stijn encounters a wide range of diverse personalities, which is a new experience for him. "Back when I was at my previous company, the dynamics were very different. It takes some getting used to, but it's amazing because it leads to great ideas and numerous discussions." The spirit of teamwork and mutual support among colleagues becomes evident in stressful situations. "You notice that colleagues run the extra mile when needed, and that is very valuable."
When will Salvia be considered a success? "It's when we can have a widespread impact, helping people with severe headaches find relief and comfort in a sustainable way. That's the ultimate goal.”
Page Title (H1)
Header (H2)
A subheading or chapter heading (H3)
Introductory text or a first paragraph of information on this subject. Write as naturally as possible and be nice and specific. If necessary, use AI software to help you get started, but definitely don't use it one-on-one. Search engines can penalize AI content.
Subheading (H4)
Here too there is more than enough room for a good story, an interesting article or background information. If necessary, use a summary:
- a summary is clear
- one can see the benefits or features at a glance
- also use search terms if necessary
Another topic (H3)
Another subheading (H4)
Do not use a Title Header (H1), but use an H2 Header instead. An H1 is actually a title of the page and may only appear once on a web page. The H2 is a kind of chapter and the other headers (H3 to H6) are subheadings and subheadings within the chapter. The order is important for the readability of visitors and search engines.
- a summary is clear
- one can see the benefits or features at a glance
- also use search terms if necessary
This way everything remains easy to read and understandable for the reader. People can also scroll directly to the topic they are interested in.
Paragraph heading style (H5)
This is another example of a heading. The headings H5 and H6 are usually used as paragraph headings, each with their own style.
Paragraph heading style (H6)
In the editor you can really see a difference in font size of all headers, but on the live website they have their own style.
Other options
Use a "quote". That looks like this:
This is a quote!
You can also put texts in bold, italic, etc.
Of maak een link naar een andere pagina of website.
And finally, you can also create Superscript(1) and Subscript(2) text.
