Summary
Jo Van Eyck is a Principal Technical Consultant and seasoned software engineer with 13+ years of experience helping organisations deliver pragmatic, fit-for-purpose software while rescuing legacy code and evolving architecture. He blends hands-on full-stack development and system design with technical coaching, having led teams and shaped developer communities through workshops, coderetreats, and internal conferences. Jo champions practices like TDD, DDD, functional programming and trunk-based CI/CD, tailoring them to business needs rather than forcing dogma. His background spans startup product development to large-scale, mission-critical systems and embedded coaching roles that focus on team effectiveness and sustainable delivery. Outside of work he sharpens his craft in community events and side projects, and surprisingly balances code with electric guitar, graphic novels and board-game nights.
