Kris De Schutter is a software engineer and architect with a Ph.D. in computer science and over a decade of experience bridging academic research and production systems. He combines deep expertise in object- and aspect-oriented design with pragmatic work across legacy environments and modern enterprise stacks (Java, J2EE, Groovy, Vaadin) as well as a long-standing interest in parsers and historical languages like COBOL, Lisp and Scheme. Kris has driven architectural verification and system design at companies from Semmle to Corporify, routinely translating formal research insights into maintainable, auditable software. Comfortable in many paradigms and implementation languages, he’s as likely to prototype a parser as to harden an enterprise integration, reflecting a rare mix of language implementation experience and applied architecture. Based in Belgium, he brings both academic rigor and hands-on craftsmanship to complex legacy-to-modern migration problems.
