Erik Dubbelboer is a Principal Engineer based in Amsterdam with 15 years of experience building low-level, high-performance systems and shipping production-ready full-stack features. A repeat entrepreneur and former CTO, he co-founded Mininova and Atomx and has led engineering teams at Poki, blending product instincts with deep technical execution. His open-source contributions span critical projects—Redis, Apache Druid, Prebid.js and easyjson—where he focuses on performance, correctness and maintainability rather than cosmetic changes. He brings a pragmatic systems mentality: optimizing memory and I/O, tightening type/const use, and reducing garbage in serializers. Comfortable across C, Go, JavaScript and game engines, he pairs infrastructure-level thinking with front-end polish (e.g., Prebid adapter work and PlayCanvas WebGPU updates). Colleagues know him for shipping durable fixes and preferring meaningful forks—“I don't fork unless I make a pull request.”
