Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChristian Vermeulen is a Senior Software Engineering Manager based in Ghent with 14 years building cloud-native web platforms, primarily in PHP/Symfony. He blends a design background with deep backend expertise—DDD, hexagonal architecture, event sourcing and CI/CD—to improve platform stability, scalability and maintainability while coaching teams through growth phases. As a hands-on leader he hires, mentors and drives product-technical alignment, preferring targeted use of Symfony components rather than the full framework by default. He has led small teams to production-ready systems, implemented robust observability (Grafana, Sentry) and multi-cloud deployments on AWS/GCP/Kubernetes. Not obvious from the title: he deliberately cultivates psychological safety and deliberate failure as a learning tool, pairing creative problem solving with pragmatic architectural trade-offs.
