Senior🎓
Top SchoolBreus Blaauwendraad is a Principal Engineer based in the Netherlands with 11 years of experience building scalable Java platform tooling and frameworks. He led development teams at Adyen that power thousands of Java applications and billions of daily HTTP requests, driving a company-wide migration to a modern open-source web and worker stack. Comfortable shifting between hands-on engineering and technical leadership, he has a strong background in protocol- and performance-focused platform work, test-coverage improvement, and developer experience for large engineering organizations. His early research into post-quantum signatures and VPN traffic obfuscation reflects a persistent interest in security and low-level networking, and he pairs that curiosity with practical experience in DevOps, CI/CD, and containerization. Now at Firsty.app, he continues to blend deep technical craftsmanship with strategic platform thinking to enable large-scale, maintainable systems.
