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.
