Top SchoolRory Scholman is a seasoned backend software engineer and owner with 11 years of experience building PHP- and Java-based systems that leverage MySQL, Symfony, Docker, RabbitMQ, CQRS and ElasticSearch. He runs Flatfish Software Solutions while contributing senior engineering leadership at Chalet.nl and previously at NEP, Worldstream and Alphacomm, showing a mix of hands-on development and solution architecture.
