Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacques Van Der Merwe is a Senior .NET Consultant with 17 years in .NET teams and a particular talent for rescuing and stabilising complex, delivery-constrained systems. He blends hands-on C# engineering with technical leadership—shaping architecture, test coverage, refactoring practices, and team habits that keep codebases healthy as they scale. Jacques has led greenfield builds and turned around legacy platforms, cutting release overhead and boosting velocity through pragmatic CI/CD, modular design, and disciplined TDD/DDD approaches. He prefers tackling the unglamorous, high-leverage problems of maintainability and developer experience that most teams avoid. Based in the Netherlands, he mentors engineers while driving measurable improvements in delivery flow and code quality. Uncommonly, he pairs strong architecture convictions with a pragmatic sense of when to relax doctrine under real-world delivery pressure.
