I worked on several projects, most significantly being the development of the ANP Archief for ANP, the Dutch national news agency. I was responsible for the code that synchronized the photos and all their metadata between the ANP database and the website. The synchronization tool was written in Python using the Twisted networking framework.

In doing this I got to know Mediamatic’s anyMeta system and its API quite well. Following a blog post on how the API works, I was invited to help improve it. I wrote documentation for the API, designed a newer, simpler API, and was a helper at a Mediamatic dev camp. (More on the API work and the dev camp below.)
