Mike Veldsink is a seasoned software leader and engineer based in Amsterdam with a decade of experience building full-stack systems in .NET, C++11, Rust, and JavaScript. He has progressed from game-focused engineering and community translation roles to senior engineering positions at Uber and Midjourney, and now leads Top.gg as CEO after prior stints as VP of Engineering and interim CEO/CTO. Comfortable toggling between hands-on development and strategic leadership, he has shipped production services at scale and nurtured communities through his long involvement with Itch.io. Known for a playful streak—literally repeating the same joke across repositories—he blends technical rigor with a human touch and a background in game architecture that informs product-forward engineering decisions.
