Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShaun Thomas is a senior solutions consultant and software engineer based in Amsterdam with over a decade of hands-on experience designing and delivering cloud-native, event-driven systems using Java/Kotlin, Spring Boot, Kafka, Kubernetes and Azure/AWS. He has progressed from software engineering roles to principal and staff engineering positions at Sytac and now advises Rabobank on large-scale architectures, often operating as a technical lead or interim chapter lead in banking and aviation clients. Shaun blends architecture and implementation expertise—shaping microservices, EDA and platform strategies while still contributing code—and has a pattern of moving into increasingly strategic consulting roles. His background spans international enterprise environments (ING, ABN AMRO, KLM, Bosch) and academia (MSc in Information Systems), giving him a practical yet research-informed approach to system design. A detail that often goes unnoticed: he consistently pairs ops-aware development (Kubernetes, observability) with messaging-first designs to reduce operational surprises in production.
