Summary
Jurjen Vorhauer is a pragmatic software developer with 11+ years of experience building and modernizing mission-critical systems across finance, transport, utilities and government in the Netherlands. He moves fluently between backend (Java, Spring, Scala) and frontend (Angular), and has led migrations from monoliths to cloud-native microservices on OpenShift/Kubernetes. Jurjen excels at simplifying complex domains—most recently ensuring conflict-free national train planning and modernizing core platform operations at NS. He pairs hands-on implementation with coaching and product-minded leadership, having trained fast-track Java talent and served as on-the-job trainer and product owner. Comfortable in data-intensive and distributed environments (Kafka, Cassandra, Akka), he brings a functionalist, educator mindset that privileges maintainable, auditable systems. Based in Almere, he combines deep legacy experience (C, PostScript) with a clear drive to modernise long-lived platforms.
