Summary
๐คฉ
RockstarPascal De Kloe is a pragmatic software engineer with 15 years of experience building high-performance, data-heavy systems across cloud, IoT, blockchain and trading domains. He combines deep Go and backend expertise with hands-on work in Kubernetes, Kafka, timeseries databases and low-latency primitives (epoll/kqueue), shipping production systems for companies from eBay and ASML to Northvolt and Delta Fiber. An active open-source contributor, he has improved core Go libraries and helped benchmark JVM serializers while contributing optimizations to Ethereum and Go projects, reflecting a focus on measurable performance gains. Pascal prefers simplifying complex problems without losing necessary detail, and he frequently works on protocol-level and serialization optimizations that yield tangible efficiency improvements. Based in The Hague, he operates comfortably between startup and enterprise environments, often as a freelance engineer or short-term specialist driving critical delivery. His background shows a recurring pattern: tackle hard infrastructure challenges, reduce resource usage, and keep tooling current with state-of-the-art libraries.
