Top SchoolNiels Renard is a backend software engineer based in the Netherlands with 8 years of experience building reliable systems, currently focused on Rust at deepc. He favors a functional programming style and is equally comfortable in Haskell, Clojure and JVM languages—bringing a toolbox that spans idiomatic functional design to pragmatic production engineering. His background includes enterprise and startup work across transportation, retail, and media, and a stint running his own company, Typecrunch, which sharpened his product-minded engineering.
