Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEtienne Bruines is a seasoned software leader with 11 years of experience, currently serving as Head of Software Development at Q-MEX Networks in Lower Saxony. Grounded in a BSc in Artificial Intelligence from Radboud University, he blends managerial responsibility with hands-on backend engineering—especially in Go, which he has been using intensively for the past two years. He contributes to notable open-source projects, improving core PHP e-commerce functionality in Shopware 5 and adding engine-level features and refactors to the Go-based Engo 2D game engine. Known for removing legacy code, fixing subtle bugs (like HTTP range off-by-one issues), and implementing pragmatic performance features such as FPS limiting, he pairs product-minded thinking with attention to low-level correctness. Colleagues rely on him to drive maintainable, compatibility-aware changes and to bridge engineering strategy with day-to-day delivery.
