Summary
Henk Poley is an experienced software developer based in Amsterdam with over a decade in engineering and more than four years at HENZ ICT building PHP-driven backends for network authentication, load balancing integrations, and event booking APIs. He pairs pragmatic maintenance and reverse-engineering skills—migrating legacy PHP5 systems to modern Laravel/Lumen APIs—with attention to security, performance, and operational automation. Comfortable across the stack, Henk has implemented RADIUS configuration generators, vendor-specific attributes, F5 BIG-IP dashboards, and clever SQLite testing hooks to emulate MariaDB behaviors. A curious polyglot, he explores Elm, Rust, Erlang/Elixir, NixOS, TLA+ and ReScript, and is keen to apply that interest to LLM-related projects such as LangChainAI. Known for translating messy legacy requirements into reliable, auditable systems, he looks for roles that stretch his problem-solving and systems-design skills.
