I'm an electrical engineer with 14 YoE. I'm currently a hardware project lead at ZF group, but will be transferring to Harman this year since our ADAS group was sold to them. I left my former job after a disappointing acquisition (Dana acquiring Pi Innovo), so I'm looking for options in case history repeats itself.

I'd love to get back to faster more agile development teams, but I'm open to anything.

Senior Backend / Full-Stack Developer (20+ yrs exp)

I’m a highly experienced full-stack developer with 20+ years in software engineering, ranging from frontend to infrastructure and cloud. While I can work across the stack, my main interest and strongest expertise is designing and building scalable backend systems, primarily in Python and Go.

I’m comfortable working with modern infrastructure and tooling, including Kubernetes, AWS, databases, CI/CD pipelines, testing, and code reviews. I actively explore and form practical opinions on emerging technologies and trends, including LLMs and newer ecosystems like Rust.

I’ve held leadership and CTO roles in the past, but I’m currently looking to focus primarily on hands-on engineering and building products. I enjoy collaborating with teams, mentoring when useful, and contributing to engineering quality and delivery practices.

Looking for: freelance or employment opportunities Location / Work Authorization: Native Dutch / EU citizen Languages: Dutch and English (fluent)

CV and additional information available on request. If you reach out, please include what you're building and what kind of role you're hiring for.

Product engineer turned growth engineer with 5 years of experience in software engineering and 2 years of experience in teaching it. Pair me with marketing experts and I'll multiply their output leading to more revenue.

This year I turned a new leaf. I've solved growth marketing automation challenges and I love it. I walk up to a marketing expert, ask them what their biggest challenge is and automate it (usually). I've automated thousands of hours away for marketing professionals, it's almost as if each specialist is a team of their own.

Achieving this has been a mix of project management, data analysis (Jupyter/Marimo), AI engineering (LLM APIs), data engineering (Airflow) and my (old wheelhouse) full-stack web development.

My ambition, a few years down the line, is to create a startup myself doing both growth marketing and development. I will give my all.

  Location: Amsterdam
  Remote: preferably remote or hybrid

Hello, my name is Jesse.

I describe myself as a competent generalist, and a lifelong learner. I'm frequently working on something I've never done before. I've worked at every level of the stack, from cycle-shaving hot loops to the frontend of large web applications. My most recent professional experience has been about a year at a semiconductor startup; I wrote prototypes for an ISA, compiler, a cycle simulator and visual debugger.

In terms of hard technical skills, I can quickly become productive in nearly any language, and at any level of the stack. I'm comfortable working in heavily multithreaded/async soft-realtime environments where performance is a key acceptance criteria. I have a good understanding of modern hardware architectures, including GPUs, from main memory to registers and instruction pipelines. I have working knowledge of interpreters, dynamic language runtimes and garbage collectors. I'm convinced I can learn nearly anything (albeit some things more quickly than others), given an appropriate problem domain to apply it to.

In terms of business value, I can take hand-wavy visions of new products and turn them into working prototype(s), quickly. I'm comfortable refining those raw materials and delivering real value to customers, internal or external. I have a track record of successfully identifying 80/20 solutions and love the feeling of making tools that make peoples lives better.

In my personal life, I enjoy travelling, surfing, climbing, backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, pirates, and attending raves. I like the phrase "have strong opinions, weakly held".

If I was born to do one thing in this world, it's program computers.

Jesse
