👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Klapwijk is a Lead Software Engineer based in Cambridge with nine years of experience building performance-conscious web and distributed systems, with a strong focus on Rust. He has driven core, low-latency streaming infrastructure at Nstream and applied Rust to accounting and reconciliation problems at Cryptio, demonstrating a knack for turning complex, asynchronous systems into robust production services. Equally comfortable in cloud and JVM ecosystems, he has led backend teams using AWS and Spring and built data-validation pipelines from first principles. Thomas combines hands-on engineering with team leadership at startups and scale-ups, and his background in electronic engineering adds a hardware-aware perspective to software design. He enjoys pushing boundaries in streaming data, blockchain, and WASM targets, often favouring elegant, macro-driven abstractions to maximise performance and maintainability.
