Senior🎓
Top SchoolRuben Van Rooij is a software architect and developer with 12 years of experience blending game design sensibilities and UX-first thinking into robust software solutions. Currently leading architecture at Foreside after roles as Team Lead and Solution Architect at iO, he bridges hands-on coding (C++, Obj-C, Python, JavaScript) with product-focused design. His background co-founding an indie game studio gives him a rare mix of entrepreneurial grit and player-centric interaction design that informs his approach to user interfaces and system architecture. Ruben has a track record of mentoring teams and delivering client-facing solutions across agencies and consultancies in the Netherlands. Trained in Design and Technology at HKU, he often brings visual thinking and prototyping discipline to engineering problems. Colleagues appreciate that he thinks like a designer but builds like an engineer—prioritizing experience without sacrificing technical rigor.
