Summary
Arjen Dijkstra is a pragmatic Python programmer based in Utrecht with 12 years of hands-on experience building web applications and services. He has a strong Unix tooling pedigree—Linux, bash, vim/neovim and tmux—and deep experience with Django, Falcon, Flask and the Plone CMS, reflecting a career that spans both CMS-driven and modern API-first projects. Arjen has progressed from test engineering and Plone development into full-stack and team lead roles, most recently contributing to energy and software projects at Coolblue Energy and now Adapta. He favors clean, efficient tooling and small, composable frameworks, and brings practical operational sense from long experience running and debugging systems in production. Colleagues value his steady, low-friction approach to delivering features and maintaining reliability across legacy and contemporary Python stacks.
