Senior🎓
Top SchoolRob Van Aarle is a pragmatic developer and engineering leader with 12 years of experience scaling web platforms and shaping engineering teams from startup to scaleup.

Rob has led platform strategy and growth at high-throughput e‑commerce businesses (handling tens of thousands of daily orders) and recently helped transition a small company into a scalable org while coaching a founder to become CTO. Based in Nijmegen, he favors deep work, clear development guidelines, and pragmatic architecture that supports product-focused teams. An understated strength is turning operational founders’ energy into a lasting company strategy and engineering culture.
