Christophe Hesters is a senior software engineer and architect with over a decade of experience building cloud-first backend systems across e-commerce, logistics and railway transportation. He excels at designing resilient APIs and data flows (Kotlin preferred) while actively participating in operations to keep services secure and reliable in AWS environments. Comfortable across the full stack, he pairs backend expertise with TypeScript/React front-end work and Terraform-driven infrastructure, favoring understanding over framework lock-in. His career includes delivering a cross-channel loyalty platform that synchronizes in-store and online finances and modernizing large monoliths into microservices for logistics providers. Fluent in multiple languages (Kotlin, Go, Scala, Python, Java) he also experiments with Rust and smart contracts, reflecting a pragmatic curiosity for emerging tech. Having taught and studied abroad in China and the US, he brings both technical depth and international collaboration experience to engineering teams.
