Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmile Pels is a Senior Software Engineer based in Amsterdam with 11 years of experience building and operating cloud-native, highly available systems—particularly in Go and Kubernetes. He drives fast, data-informed delivery of small changes to accelerate larger projects and takes clear ownership from architecture to observability and docs. At MessageBird he has scaled messaging backends and is currently building a greenfield marketing suite on AWS (ECS/Fargate, DynamoDB, MemoryDB, SNS/SQS). A prolific polyglot contributor to open source, he pairs pragmatic clarity ("clear > clever") with production-grade practices like automated tests and monitoring. Colleagues rely on him for both hands-on debugging of large clusters and for translating system-level tradeoffs into business outcomes.
