Summary
Nik Torfs is a solutions architect with 13 years of hands-on experience building full-stack and cloud-native systems across industries—from air traffic management using Ada on Linux to event-driven startups on AWS and commercial digital signage platforms. He combines a Master's in Applied Informatics from KU Leuven with practical expertise in Java, Node.js, C#.NET, Angular, PHP, Go and Kubernetes, and routinely balances pragmatic engineering with strategic trade-offs. Comfortable both leading teams and getting into the weeds, he runs the tech side of a digital signage business while architecting solutions at Lemon Companies and Maraca Digital. An incessant tinkerer, he maintains a home lab and experiments with 3D printing, long-distance running, and endurance sports—habits that mirror his persistence in solving complex technical problems.
