Summary
Pieter-paul K is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years’ experience building and stabilizing large-scale distributed systems, primarily in C++ and Java, with strong competency in data analytics and SQL. At Google he led small teams in high-stakes account security projects—re-architecting cross-division data integrations, preventing election-related account theft, and scaling systems to 5x original capacity—while also serving as a C++ mentor and instructor. He combines a fast ability to learn systems and their business context with a pragmatic focus on reducing complexity and improving operability. Comfortable as a hands-on engineer or as a tech lead for compact teams, he favors organizations that take the time to do things right and that contribute to the common good, such as security. Academically trained with cum laude BSc and MSc from TU/e, he pairs rigorous technical depth with experience in project planning and people development. Outside pure engineering he has a track record of organizing large-scale student programs, reflecting strong stakeholder coordination skills not obvious from code alone.
