Summary
Niels Kwadijk is a software engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building and maintaining systems across broadcast and enterprise environments, currently contributing at AFAS Software. He combines a strong academic background in computer science (MSc, Utrecht University) and practical DevOps know-how—Ansible and Nix—from student-run server ops to production roles. Niels has a particular affinity for functional programming and Haskell, having worked on an alternative Haskell compiler for his master's thesis, which reflects his taste for principled, correctness-oriented engineering. He pairs analytical problem-solving with collaborative team play, enjoying design discussions and iterative improvement of solutions. Outside of software he brings live sound engineering and stage-crew experience that sharpen his communication, leadership under pressure, and attention to deliverable quality. That blend of compiler research, DevOps practice, and real-world teamwork makes him a pragmatic engineer who values both elegant designs and operational reliability.
