Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJorik Van Der Werf is a Full Stack Developer with 13 years of experience building and operationalizing scalable backend systems, specializing in .NET Core, microservices, messaging, and Kubernetes. He has led teams and technical transformations—from breaking monoliths into microservices and moving CI/CD to GitHub Actions to standardizing monitoring at companies like NLZIET and New Relic—while also shipping high-throughput services that process millions of messages per second. Comfortable across languages and stacks (C#, Go, Kotlin, PHP) and cloud platforms, he combines hands-on engineering with mentoring and on-call reliability practices. As an entrepreneur running Werf-IT and now contributing at RobotX.eu, he balances product-focused delivery with infrastructure craftsmanship. A detail that sets him apart is his history of introducing engineering rituals (design documents, destructible environments, tech sessions) that improve team onboarding and long-term maintainability.
