Summary
Joost Lubach is a seasoned CTO and full‑stack engineer with 11 years of professional experience, currently leading technology at Lowerdeck after multi-year CTO roles at GroundControl, Wildflyer and Reckon. He has repeatedly architected and scaled real‑time, high‑traffic systems—most notably GroundControl’s location-based engagement platform and viral apps for Dutch television that handled hundreds of thousands of concurrent users. Comfortable across mobile (iOS, React Native), backend (NodeJS, Ruby on Rails), and data/visualization domains, he blends hands‑on development with strategic product architecture. Joost pairs an academic foundation (MSc Computer Science, McGill) with a pragmatic track record shipping production systems under intense load and short timelines. An entrepreneurial technologist and occasional app-maker, he thrives on performance challenges and turning ephemeral opportunities into resilient platforms.
