Nikolaas Verlee is a pragmatic engineering leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling web and microservice platforms, now serving as Head of Engineering from Madrid. He blends hands-on systems work (React, Node.js, AWS, Kubernetes) with strategic responsibilities—mentoring ~25 engineers, owning architecture and roadmaps, and managing stakeholder communication and budgets. Nikolaas has driven measurable impact through performance and conversion improvements (e.g., 30% page speed gains, multi-million euro GMV uplift) and has a track record in domain-driven design, hexagonal architectures and resilient integrations for logistics and e-commerce clients. He cultivates developer experience and release confidence via testing, caching and risk mitigation practices, and is known for combining technical rigor with a playful self-effacing culture (per his GitHub bio).
