Summary
Paul Jarleton is a Senior Software Engineer based in Amsterdam with 11 years of experience building cloud-first, data-intensive platforms across startups and large tech companies. Currently at Spotify, he brings deep expertise in Scala, JavaScript, Kubernetes and DevOps practices cultivated at TomTom where he led a platform team modernizing geospatial data pipelines. Paul combines hands-on implementation—spanning backend streams, microservices and frontend frameworks—with a track record of improving developer experience through workshops, mentoring and tech talks.

Curious about IT, music and science, he often bridges research and engineering to enable new data products. Colleagues know him as an open-minded coach who turns complex distributed challenges into teachable, repeatable practices.
