Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFrank Schröder is a Staff Engineer based in Nijmegen with 15 years of hands-on experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems. He specializes in Go and distributed architectures, currently driving performance and reliability at Stream after leading edge and data-collection platforms at Northvolt that run on thousands of gateways and tens of thousands of deployments. Frank is a prolific open-source contributor and maintainer—known for work on gopcua (native Go OPC-UA), consul, fabio and go-discover—bringing practical cloud discovery, load-balancing and protocol debugging expertise. He combines deep systems-level debugging (UACP handshakes, NaN handling) with release and automation improvements (goreleaser, artifact signing) and a history of stabilizing tests and startup performance. Beyond engineering, he has scaled teams and hiring processes, interviewing hundreds of candidates and growing teams from small to double digits. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic architecture, relentless operational hygiene, and a knack for turning messy distributed problems into maintainable systems.
