Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCasper Lamboo is a pragmatic software engineer and team lead with 11 years’ experience building desktop and web tooling for the 3D printing ecosystem from Utrecht. At Ultimaker he has shipped front-end Qt/QML improvements and backend enhancements across Cura, Uranium and CuraEngine, pairing UI polish with algorithmic robustness and test automation. He moves comfortably between full‑stack Python/C++ work, Rust prototyping from an academic project, and practical product tasks like packaging, OAuth and payments from earlier roles. As a hands‑on lead he reviews community contributions and drives migrations (e.g., to Qt Controls 2) while keeping user-facing details—like dark mode and selectable text fields—in mind. His background in mediatechnology and a master’s in computing science complements a pattern of improving both developer and user experience in open-source projects.
