Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSylvia Stuurman is a software engineer-turned-writer and public speaker with 18 years of experience teaching and researching software technology, grounded in a PhD in Software Engineering. Formerly a universitair docent at Open Universiteit Nederland and researcher at TU Delft, she brings deep expertise in designing software that is resilient to change and in teaching others to optimize for future-proof systems. Since 2017 she has channelled her technical communication skills into advocacy on autism and neurodiversity, informed by her own diagnosis and classroom observations. Sylvia combines academic rigor with practical systems thinking to argue for societal and educational changes that reframe autism not as a deficit but as a different way of contributing. Based in Eijsden, Netherlands, she pursues a pragmatic utopia: small, measurable improvements that cumulatively make environments more inclusive.
