Summary
Arne De Herdt is a senior software developer with over two decades of hands-on experience across C++, C#.NET, Ruby on Rails and cloud-native infrastructures, currently based in Prague. He has repeatedly helped companies migrate from on-prem systems to scalable, maintainable multi-cloud solutions while prioritizing pragmatic, iterative delivery over chasing perfect designs. Arne combines backend leadership—API design, Elasticsearch integration, Kubernetes and Terraform—with developer experience work that speeds team productivity and standardizes engineering practices. He has led product-critical work at Rapid7, Productboard and Custom Ink, and enjoys coaching junior engineers and improving processes as much as shipping features. A practical problem-solver, he often chooses the simplest robust path that can be evolved as requirements clarify, a mindset reflected in successful migrations and performance-focused engineering early in his career (including a CUDA exploration for image processing).
