Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolErik Westra is a pragmatic senior software engineer with about nine years of experience building cloud-native systems, increasingly focused on Go, microservices and Kubernetes. He has led migrations from monoliths to microservices and written production tooling at startups like Nicolab and Neurocast, pairing backend Go work with TypeScript frontends and SQL-backed services. At Neurocast he combined hands-on development with quality management and regulatory-ready documentation, showing an unusual blend of engineering and process design. His background in medical informatics and earlier data-science roles gives him a strong appreciation for data pipelines and visualization even as his passion has shifted toward systems engineering. An active open-source-minded practitioner, he looks for interesting Go and K8s projects to contribute to and writes about his experiments and learnings. Based in Amsterdam, he’s always hunting the next challenge across DevOps, cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and distributed systems.
