Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSjaak Van Diepen is a pragmatic developer based in Kampen with 10 years of software experience and a longer career in publishing and production automation. He blends back-end development skills—PHP, Node.js, MySQL, MongoDB—with practical front-end styling and automation (CSS, jQuery, InDesign scripting) developed over roles from technical DTP to production management. At We Have A Plan he continues hands-on development while contributing to scientific open-source tooling on Microsoft’s Qcodes project, adding drivers for lab instruments like Tektronix and an Oxford Instruments dilution refrigerator. That mix of industrial production workflow expertise and lab-focused driver development gives him a rare fluency across automated publishing systems and scientific data-acquisition code. Known for getting things done (“lekker bezig”), he often surfaces small but impactful fixes—validators, usability tweaks and conversion scripts—that keep complex systems running smoothly.
