Senior🎓
Top SchoolRiny Van Tiggelen is a seasoned Senior Backend Developer with over 20 years in web development, blending deep PHP and CMS expertise with a longstanding interest in front-end technologies. Now at MaxServ, he focuses on robust backend systems—particularly TYPO3 core contributions—while leveraging experience across Symfony, Laravel, SQL and modern toolchains like Docker, Kubernetes and GitLab CI/CD. He began coding at 11 and turned professional at 17, which explains his rare combination of legacy-platform fluency (osCommerce/OpenCart/TYPO3) and curiosity for newer frameworks like React, Next.js and Vue. Known for pragmatic refactors, schema updates and performance-minded fixes in enterprise CMS environments, he pairs hands-on coding with system-level thinking. Based in Roosendaal, Netherlands, he also experiments with game development (Unity/C#) and hardware projects (Arduino), underscoring a practical, wide-ranging engineering curiosity.
