Jan Murre is a seasoned web technology specialist and entrepreneur with over three decades of experience transitioning from academic chemistry to founding and leading multiple web and open-source ventures. As owner of Catalyz BV and a serial CTO/co-owner in startups, he combines deep Python backend expertise (Django, Flask, Pyramid), cloud-native deployment (Kubernetes, GAE, Azure), and data-engineering skills (NumPy, Pandas, Airflow) to deliver scalable web platforms. He champions open source and pragmatic architecture, having built production systems for education, media and sports-tech since the mid-1990s. Comfortable across front-end (Angular, TypeScript) and backend stacks, he also explores NoSQL and machine learning applications—bringing a scientist’s curiosity to engineering trade-offs. Based in The Hague, he pairs hands-on coding with strategic product and operations experience, often shaping solutions end-to-end from prototype to cloud deployment.
