Summary
Gertjan Al is a pragmatic software engineer with 16 years of hands-on experience across Java, C++, PHP and a wide variety of other languages, currently contributing to forensic software at the Nederlands Forensisch Instituut and to NCIM. He has built embedded and mobile solutions (J2ME, Android), enterprise integration (BizTalk/C#), and web frameworks (SmartGWT), showing an ability to move between low-level and high-level systems. Past roles include GIS tooling, SAP integrations for the Dutch judiciary, and systems that consolidated C# and Java gaming backends into unified user-management views. Based in The Hague, he combines steady long-term institutional experience with a curiosity for eclectic languages (from Texas Instruments BASIC to game scripting), suggesting a pragmatic problem-solver who adapts tools to fit requirements rather than vice versa.
