Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJos Dehaes is a senior software engineer and architect with 11+ years of professional experience and a long history in messaging, connectivity and systems engineering across financial and infrastructure domains. He has deep protocol and backend expertise from long tenures at SWIFT and SunGard, transitioning more recently into Rust and cloud-native microservices at Kraken and Eiger. As a freelancer he blends hands-on coding, system design and cross-team communication, tackling low-level OS integrations (notably improving macOS/OpenBSD support and SMC handling for the popular btop resource monitor). Comfortable across Java, Rust and system-level C work, he brings pragmatic performance tuning and protocol-stack maintainership to complex, high-reliability products. Based in the Antwerp area, he pairs formal training in nuclear physics and artificial intelligence with a practical focus on robust, observable distributed systems.
