Top SchoolDavid van Erkelens is a Senior Software Engineer based in Amsterdam with 11 years of experience building backend systems in PHP, C++, Java and modern stacks including Laravel, Symfony, and AWS.

At Mollie and previously Coolblue and Copernica he shipped integrations and B2B propositions, while also contributing to sales, training, documentation and technical recruiting. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs backend expertise with frontend work in JavaScript/Vue and practical DevOps skills using Docker and Git.
