Summary
Arjan Pronk is a co-founder and developer who blends hands-on software engineering with product leadership to drive LinkPizza, the Netherlands' largest influencer marketing marketplace. Since 2009 he’s evolved from a Java developer into a T-shaped engineer capable of building, deploying, testing, and guiding products across the stack, including migrating from a monolith to microservices. He leads day-to-day development operations, ships new products, and rapidly prototypes to crystallize requirements, drawing on experience as a Product Owner. His stack centers on Java, Kubernetes, and Quarkus, with practical forays into NodeJS, PHP, Flutter, and WebDriver to enable multi-language delivery and automation. Notable integrations span multi-sided payments, social platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Google UA/G4, TikTok), and marketing/CRM tools (HubSpot, Intercom, Google Ads, Data Studio), plus Chrome extensions and a WordPress plugin for tracking. Based in Randstad, Netherlands, his early roles at M4N, Mbuyu, and ZEEF shaped a testing-driven, entrepreneurial approach that pairs practical engineering with strategic product thinking.
