Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Van Ryseghem is a senior software engineer with 14 years of experience building full-stack JavaScript systems and shaping remote-first teams across European companies. Currently at Aircall after leading product engineering at Wolters Kluwer, he blends OOP and functional programming sensibilities—fondness for Smalltalk/Lisp roots shows in his Pharo-era IDE work—with pragmatic JS engineering. He has driven end-to-end features from D3-based seated ticketing and security-audit apps to Android tooling and cloud document archives, often acting as the first remote hire to establish async processes. An active open-source contributor, he implemented nuanced international currency formatting for the popular numbro/numeral.js family, adding language-aware prefixes/postfixes and robust negative-number handling. Based in Hauts-de-France, he seeks remote roles where deep design thinking and pragmatic shipping meet.
