Summary
👤
SeniorDax Huiberts is a pragmatic software consultant based in Haarlem with 13 years of experience building backend systems, databases and DevOps platforms, now focused on Rust after a long history with Ruby on Rails. He co-founded and served as CTO at a startup and has held senior and lead roles across product and agency environments, bringing both entrepreneurial product sense and hands-on engineering.
