Summary
Roel Van Den Brand is a Lead Developer with over 15 years of hands-on experience building and modernizing enterprise backends, currently leading development at OrcaGroup after multi-year roles driving architecture and delivery for organizations like PostNL, Efteling and Cargowatch. He blends deep .NET and legacy system knowledge with modern cloud-native patterns—serverless, event-driven, AKS and AWS MACH migrations—while applying TOGAF9 and agile practices to align engineering with business goals. Roel’s background spans databases (MS SQL, Oracle Exadata), APIs (SOAP/REST, WebAPI), tooling (Docker, TFS, Visual Studio) and healthcare/logistics domains such as AZR and iWLZ. Known for taking on full-stack backend rewrites and high-performance system migrations, he pairs pragmatic engineering with architecture-level thinking. He also brings an often-overlooked strength: long-term continuity—many multi-year engagements that reduced technical debt and delivered sustainable platforms for complex, regulated environments.
