Jeroen Hoek is a senior software engineer with 18 years' experience, blending deep Java and test automation expertise with a long-standing commitment to FOSS and robust software internationalization. Based in Leeuwarden, he’s been a core developer at Lable since 2011, contributing to elderly health-care software while also serving as the company’s CISO for several years—combining hands-on coding, security stewardship, and operational responsibility. He’s known internally as a "Unicode-viking" and Git expert, reflecting rare domain knowledge in i18n/L10n that complements his MA in Japanese language and culture. That linguistic background informs pragmatic solutions for multilingual systems and has been applied in both academic and freelance cultural intermediary roles. His open-source test work (JUnit/Mokito/PowerMock) shows a rigorous, TDD-oriented approach to reliability and edge-case handling.
