Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Slootjes is a Director of Platform Technology with 10+ years crafting high-performance, highly available systems using AWS native managed services. He combines a hands-on backend background in PHP and TypeScript with platform-level design—specializing in serverless architectures, Redis, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, and event-sourced workflows. Robert has led platform strategy at agencies like Media.Monks and Superstruct while advising on AWS Serverless architecture across projects, bringing practical experience with Lambda, Step Functions, queues, and payment integrations such as Adyen. A seasoned public speaker since 2018, he translates complex distributed systems into actionable guidance for engineering teams worldwide. Based in the Netherlands, he pairs pragmatic engineering discipline with a knack for squeezing extra performance out of managed services, often solving capacity and latency challenges without rearchitecting core platforms.
