It's finally and officially done! I'm now the proud holder of a Doctor of Engineering Technology degree. That means, from now on, the only correct way to address me is by starting your communication with "Dear dr. Groeneveld".
In case that wasn't clear: I'm kidding. Outside of academia, the title of course has little use, although it's nice to replay certain scenes from _Friends_, such as the one where [Ross admits to Rachel that doctors also do get sick](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YKcDScj-uW4) (not to be confused with the _oh doctor Geller, stop it!_ one).
In case you're interested in the thesis I've successfully defended, [this post summarizes](/post/2023/07/identifying-and-amplifying-non-technical-skills-in-se-education/) what I've been up to the past five years.
As for what's next... Well... I don't know yet. I'll be teaching one more semester at our local campus, and in the meantime, try to score an internal research funding scholarship as a leverage to hopefully more long-term European funds. If that doesn't work out, there's always software development to go back to.
That pair programmer better at least start the conversation with _dr. Groeneveld_, though. I could get used to this. Now I know where those delusions of grandeur as visible in [author bios on books](/post/2023/09/short-author-bios-on-books/) come from.
