Summary
Arne De Coninck is a software engineer based in Ghent with 11 years of experience building reliable, data-focused systems and coaching teams through the full software lifecycle. He combines a strong research background—a PhD in bioinformatics and early career work in nuclear engineering—with hands-on production experience at Western Digital and Quantum, writing and maintaining code across OCaml, Python, C/C++, Java and Go. At Western Digital he blended engineering and Scrum Master responsibilities, driving end-to-end feature delivery for an on-premise S3-like object store and leading root-cause analysis of complex field bugs. Comfortable at the intersection of data storage, data science and agile practices, he excels at translating research-grade algorithms into maintainable, production software. A detail-oriented problem solver, he brings uncommon domain depth from genomics and nuclear modelling into scalable storage and systems engineering.
