Summary
Niels Koole is a pragmatic full-stack developer with 10 years of experience who blends hands-on Swift and web development with founder-level product instincts. He currently builds full-stack solutions at Emburse while founding community-driven sports platforms (Getcrewd, Secret Marathon) that reveal his passion for social products and habitual fitness. Previously he led engineering and product efforts at Roadmap, founding Made2pay and shipping native iOS apps and a new Swift-based POS rebuild. Niels is a people-first leader who prefers to “lead from the back,” creating open, safe teams that move quickly and ship practical solutions. Based in Naaldwijk, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with a taste for elegant, user-centered mobile experiences—often developed in his self-styled “progbunker.” Colleagues describe him as easygoing, growth-focused, and fiercely pragmatic when turning ideas into shipped products.
