Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Van Amstel is a Senior Consultant and Java-focused software leader with over 20 years of experience building and scaling e-invoicing and enterprise platforms from startup POCs to multi-location teams. He combines deep hands-on expertise in Java, XML, Spring, and cloud-native tooling with proven leadership in Agile and DevOps transformations, having led ISO-27001-aligned delivery across distributed teams in Amsterdam, Joure and Krakow.

He is comfortable across the stack, often owning both the invoice formatting/design and the CI/CD pipelines that deliver it, and has shepherded migrations toward microservices and containerized deployments. Known for mentoring juniors and balancing tech debt versus roadmap priorities, he brings a pragmatic, process-oriented approach rooted in long-term product ownership. Based in the Randstad, he blends startup agility with enterprise-grade governance and a long-standing affinity for open-source tooling.
