Koen Bolhuis is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years of experience building backend systems, DevOps pipelines and MLOps platforms from concept to production. He holds a cum laude MSc in Software Engineering and Distributed Systems and combines strong academic rigor with hands-on delivery—evidenced by a published catalog of IaC cost (anti)patterns and linters developed during his master’s research. Koen has driven integrations between platforms and GitLab, modernized CI/CD and Argo CD deployments, and managed multi-environment Kubernetes fleets to make AI tooling reliable and user-friendly. He moves fluently between backend engineering, infrastructure automation and developer UX improvements (e.g., 5x UI resource-loading speedups and realtime pipeline status via WebSockets). Based in the Netherlands, he’s a fast learner with a wide range of interests, from biomedical annotation tools to game development, bringing curiosity and practical impact to every project.
