Summary
Koos Drost is a pragmatic full-stack software developer and solution architect with eight years of experience building and operating Java-based systems for government and research clients across the Netherlands. Certified in Java, TOGAFv10, DevOps, Scrum and ITIL, he blends hands-on implementation (Spring, Kubernetes, OpenShift, PostgreSQL) with architecture and delivery leadership at Conspect and the Justitiële ICT Organisatie. He excels at integrating legacy platforms and modern CI/CD workflows—ArgoCD, Jenkins and GitLab pipelines feature regularly in his toolset—while mentoring teams and organizing regional tech communities. Trained in biomedical engineering, he brings a data-oriented perspective from earlier work linking large datasets to simulation models, and balances technical intensity with a love for sports and social collaboration.
