Mobile Test Engineer

Jeroen "JW" Wijering was a student in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, in 2005 when he took up programming. One of his first late-night creations was a small piece of open-source software that enables images and sound to play on the Internet. Jeroen was still in college when his product became the basis for YouTube, which relied on JW Player until it was acquired by Google.
