Summary
Marten De Groot is a software consultant and team lead based in Amsterdam with nine years of hands-on experience building web and frontend solutions across startups and consulting firms. He blends frontline engineering—React/NodeJS migrations, AWS deployments and JavaScript-heavy frontends—with client-facing digital strategy, helping businesses like Samsara Herbs expand sales channels beyond marketplaces. His background spans product management, international consultancy in Kenya, and technical roles from prototype Bluetooth localization to fintech auditing software, showing a rare mix of technical depth and operational ownership. At Xebia he leads teams while remaining a practicing developer, comfortable moving between legacy codebases and modern cloud-native stacks. Colleagues would note both his practical curiosity (early work on Bluetooth LE localization) and his knack for turning product goals into incremental, testable technical roadmaps.
