Summary
André De Jager is a senior full-stack software engineer based in Townsville with 11+ years crafting robust, maintainable web applications across Clojure, ClojureScript, Java, Node.js and modern front-end stacks. He has led product-facing engineering at startups and scaleups—setting technical direction, mentoring developers and translating customer needs into production-ready features—most recently at JESI and Atlassian before joining Audience Republic. Comfortable across cloud platforms (AWS/Azure), CI/CD and databases (Postgres, Datomic, Mongo), he pairs functional programming and refactoring discipline with thorough testing to keep systems resilient. André’s background in scientific and enterprise systems (AIMS, Capco) gives him a strong data-and-requirements-driven approach, and he has a knack for quickly mastering new technologies and improving team delivery. Notably, he was often the first developer on projects, shaping architectures and processes from the ground up.
