Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGert Goet is a pragmatic software engineer and founder with 17 years of experience building backend systems, specializing in Clojure and Ruby. As owner of ThinkCreate since 2007 he combines consultancy and hands‑on development, and has held senior engineering roles across domains from healthcare and consumer goods to meteorology. He is an active open-source contributor—having improved clarity and usability in the flagship rails/rails project—reflecting a focus on developer experience and robust documentation as much as on code. Gert’s background in computer science and early meteorology studies gives him a data-minded approach to problem solving and system design. Colleagues rely on him for steady technical leadership, pragmatic refactors, and delivering maintainable, well-documented backend services. He’s equally at home sorting bits in Clojure as polishing Ruby code examples for a global developer audience.
