Summary
Roald Hacquebord is a software engineer with 13 years’ experience building resilient web platforms and thoughtful architectures from frontend to backend. He’s led large migrations and pragmatic redesigns at NOS—moving legacy PHP toward component-based frontends and rewrites in Rust—while also shipping product-facing UIs at startups like Objectiv. Comfortable across TypeScript, Rust, Node.js, React, databases and Kubernetes, he focuses on designs that remain adaptable as requirements change rather than “it works” hacks. Roald blends hands-on coding with technical leadership: coaching teams through gradual rewrites and establishing long-term platform visions. Based in Leeuwarden, he pairs a background in multimedia design and music with an engineer’s responsibility ethic, which shows up in careful, maintainable systems. He’s equally at home prototyping greenfield projects and keeping large legacy codebases healthy.
