Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKristof Bogaerts is a seasoned software engineer with 14 years of experience designing robust backends and domain-focused engines, currently building solutions at Teal Partners from Antwerp. He specializes in C#, .NET, databases, DDD/CQRS, TDD and architecture, and enjoys turning complex domain logic into reusable engines—examples include bailiff calculation engines and a liquid-bulk vessel dossier synthesizer. Kristof has architected scalable ingestion platforms that moved read models from SQL to document stores and introduced reliable asynchronous processing via service buses. He also built a DSL compiler (tokenizer, parser, AST-to-query) to let users express custom rules, and contributes to prominent open-source compiler work such as the Rakudo Raku and NQP projects. Pragmatic and detail-oriented, he blends deep systems thinking with hands-on implementation to solve messy, real-world data problems.
