Senior🎓
Top SchoolRuud De Jong is a software developer in the Netherlands with 11 years’ experience building user-focused web systems and research-grade prototypes that simplify complex problems. With a background in Human Media Interaction and Creative Technology, he has blended front-end UX, Natural Language Generation, and backend services across projects at research institutes and universities, including simulation tools for caregiver training and narrative engines using Java/Spring and Drools. He enjoys experimenting across the stack—from CSS and PHP to machine learning and multimedia—and often bridges disciplinary teams to turn interdisciplinary ideas into usable products. Pragmatic about simplicity, Ruud is as comfortable shipping DevOps pipelines and Unity front-ends as he is iterating on data- or language-driven features.
