Tess Duursma is a self-taught software architect with a decade of hands-on experience building and guiding engineering teams across Europe, now based in Munich. She combines entrepreneurial drive as the owner of vanu.dev with institutional impact as a software architect at FITKO and lead developer for Stichting WâldNet, showing fluency in both product-led startups and public-sector delivery. Her background spans roles from junior engineer to chief engineer, giving her a practical appreciation for shipping quality software and mentoring across the stack. Constantly learning and interdisciplinary by habit, Tess brings a curious, travel-fueled perspective that informs pragmatic, well-crafted solutions. An older GitHub presence points to a long-standing developer hobbyist streak beyond her recent professional footprint.
