Over Stijn
I’m a senior software engineer with 10+ years in startups and scale-ups, mostly building SaaS products in Rust and Python. I work across the full stack: front end, back end, infrastructure, architecture. I tend to be the one who solves the hard problems no one else manages to crack, and I enjoy the deep thinking that requires.
I care about building things that matter: reducing inequality, strengthening democracy, tackling the climate crisis. I’m happy to lead technically, and I’m at my best on a small, focused team where quality comes before velocity
