Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolErik Van De Ven is a Senior Software Engineer and Team Architect with 11 years of experience building robust Python and JavaScript systems, after an early career spent honing PHP for eight years. Currently at ASML, he designs scalable architectures, reduces technical debt, and mentors junior engineers while owning core building blocks that evolved from proof-of-concept to production. His background includes data-focused roles at the police and major enterprises, where he combined software engineering with applied machine learning and data science—supported by post-academic training at JADS—to deliver investigative and analytics solutions. A lifelong tinkerer (he literally started by frying a motherboard at 14), Erik brings hands-on full-stack experience, Linux ops skills, and a practical open-source streak exemplified by a PHP GIF generator project that he refactored into a reusable class-based tool.
