Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoop Kiefte is a pragmatic software developer and systems thinker with 19 years of hands-on experience, currently working in second-line support from Lisbon while building services in Go, TypeScript, and Rust. He combines a background in technical support and product-focused engineering—often aiming to write as little code as necessary to solve big problems—and has led remote teams and improved development processes. An active open-source contributor, he has fixed bugs and enhanced the well-known golang/gddo documentation site, improving examples, linting, and error handling. Outside engineering he pursues eclectic interests—from crypto hacking and Creative Commons music promotion to Esperanto and Bahá'í community work—bringing a broadly curious, multidisciplinary perspective to technical challenges.
