Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJochem Kossen is a software developer-turned-educator with 14 years of hands-on experience spanning PHP, Linux/Unix systems, web applications and tooling for high-frequency trading and telecoms. Since 2017 he has focused on preparing future developers as a docent in application development, teaching everything from object-oriented thinking and APIs to IoT and robots while encouraging experimentation and quality over quantity. His background as a systems specialist gives him a rare combination of deep operational knowledge and pragmatic web development skills, enabling him to explain complex infrastructure concerns in classroom-friendly terms. He creates structure where it’s missing, values critical discussion, and continually seeks contextual balance—skills he also applies to his photography practice and outdoor pursuits. Based in the Greater Enschede Area, he blends practical industry experience with formal didactic training (PDG) to make students industry-ready. A detail not obvious from job titles: he started and ran small internet ventures and freelance photography projects, showing entrepreneurial curiosity beyond teaching and engineering.
