Top SchoolRuurd-jan Zwarts is a pragmatic Head of Engineering with 10+ years of experience scaling product-focused teams from startup proof-of-concept to multi-product scaleups. He excels at aligning engineering work with business outcomes, removing developer friction through best practices and automation so teams can focus on solving hard problems. At ParkBee he rebuilt a POC, launched five products, and grew the tech organization to ~30 engineers while shepherding the transition to product-led development.
