Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Broersma is a security-minded full‑stack engineer and standardization advisor with 12 years’ experience building fast, auditable web systems for NGOs, government and campaigning organizations. Comfortable from PostgreSQL/PostGREST and Graphile backends to Svelte front-ends, he combines deep SQL/PLpgSQL tuning with pragmatic security expertise (XSS, CSRF, SQLi, MitM, etc.) and low-level hacking in Rust, C/C++ and assembly. He has a track record in public sector projects—electoral systems and open government—favoring mission-driven work over commercial opportunity and insisting on clear boundaries with recruiters. Equally at home prototyping on Raspberry Pi/Arduino as he is optimizing database-driven APIs, he brings a hacker’s curiosity to robust, standards-based solutions. Based in Delft with an MSc in Computer Science, he often blends geo/OSM tooling and accessibility-aware front ends into lightweight, production-ready prototypes.
