I have reviewed 140 journal, conference and workshop contributions over the past 11 years. I have been on the Empirical Software Engineering (EMSE) review board (2015/2016 and 2016/2017) and received the EMSE Reviewer Certificate of Recognition from the editors in 2018 and 2019. In 2021, I have served as an expert evaluator for a research application in the Dutch Research Council (NWA). The most frequent venues I've been refereeing are listed below.
