Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKees Bakker is a pragmatic .NET engineer and technical leader with 11+ years of experience building scalable, high-throughput web services for one of the Netherlands’ largest online retailers. At Wehkamp he blends hands-on development (C#, .NET, TypeScript, Node.js) with platform and DevOps automation—authoring Slack bots and participating in Databricks and AWS-driven POCs to improve developer productivity. He runs a decade-old tech blog (KeesTalksTech.com) and a small hosting business, demonstrating deep operational knowledge of WordPress, Cloudflare and reliable cloud hosting. Comfortable stepping into interim tech lead roles, he coaches engineers, drives architecture, and translates complex problems into practical solutions. He’s passionate about automation and often turns repetitive workflows into lightweight bots or pipelines, a habit that quietly reduces toil across teams. Based in Zwolle, he pairs systems-thinking with a knack for explaining technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.
