Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolReinier Boon is an experienced software engineer turned mushroom teacher and organic cultivator who combines 14+ years in IT with seven years of hands-on DIY mycology. He has led testing, automation and continuous delivery efforts at scale—helping dozens of scrum teams ship faster using Jenkins, FitNesse, Docker and custom CD tooling—while also building full-stack features with Java, Kotlin, React and Postgres. Based in Gelderland, Netherlands, Reinier now focuses on educating the public about sustainable mushroom cultivation, mycoremediation and mushroom-based materials, translating technical teaching skills into engaging workshops and talks. His background in building developer tooling and automated test frameworks informs a pragmatic, systems-thinking approach to cultivation and education. Unusually, he draws an explicit analogy between the internet and fungal mycelium to make networked systems tangible for diverse audiences. He balances community-facing education with continued hands-on engineering, tooling and geospatial backend work.
