Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Overvoorde is a versatile software developer with 16 years of experience building full-stack systems, from low-level graphics and assembly experiments to cloud-native Kubernetes deployments. Based in Delft, he combines backend and data-pipeline expertise (Python, Go, C++, PHP) with frontend work (Android/Java, Vue.js, WebSockets) and hands-on DevOps using Docker, GitLab CI/CD, Prometheus and the ELK stack. He contributes actively to open source—improving gameplay and Steam integration for the popular OpenRCT2 project and maintaining tooling like an OpenStreetMap tile server—and publishes tutorials on topics such as Vulkan and graphics. His work spans production-grade infrastructure for enterprises and hobbyist systems like a VRAM-backed Linux filesystem and a tiny Minecraft clone in x86 assembly, reflecting a taste for both practicality and technical curiosity. A Cum Laude graduate from Delft University of Technology in Computer Science, he routinely blends academic rigor with pragmatic engineering.
