Summary
Michael Lippens is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building cloud-native, scalable solutions primarily in TypeScript, Java/Kotlin, Python and Go. He has a strong AWS and Kubernetes background, routinely applying infrastructure-as-code and automation to reduce complexity while maximizing operational value. Michael has rotated between hands-on development, platform architecture and DevOps roles across companies like Barco, Dermicus and Robovision, which gives him fluency in both serverless and platform-level concerns. He values good documentation and pragmatic tooling choices, preferring solutions that deliver measurable impact rather than unnecessary sophistication. Based in the Kortrijk area, he combines formal software engineering training (VUB) with a practical mindset honed across healthcare and industrial domains. An understated strength is his pattern of stepping between architect and implementer, ensuring designs are both sound and ship-ready.
