Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKurt Du Bois is a Senior Consultant and Java EE specialist with 11 years of hands-on experience building and modernizing enterprise back-ends and cloud-native systems across Belgium. He combines deep Spring/Java expertise with practical experience in microservices, Kubernetes, Kafka and AWS EKS, and has led migrations from legacy WebSphere stacks to modern Spring Boot architectures. As a people-focused engineer he has hired and coached teams, improved cross-team collaboration, and introduced quality practices like SonarQube while managing small teams and onboarding developers.

Based in Beveren, he treats tools as means to outcomes and prefers to stay in his current role rather than entertain headhunters.
