Toby Hinloopen is a pragmatic software engineer and co-owner with 14 years of experience building cloud-first, offline-capable web and hybrid mobile applications from the Netherlands. He blends client-side engineering and UX sensibility with backend experience—early career work in Ruby on Rails and recent contributions in Elixir tooling—so he comfortably spans full-stack concerns. As co-owner of SolidQMS and an active developer at Charper Bonaroo, he focuses on shipping resilient, user-friendly browser and mobile experiences that work well offline. On GitHub he’s contributed meaningful backend features to the elixir/faker library, adding robust date generation, IBAN support and refactors that removed external randomness assumptions. He favors pragmatic, testable solutions and often tackles subtle data-generation and consistency issues that other engineers overlook. Based in Dronten, he combines entrepreneurial ownership with hands-on coding across client and server sides.
Faker is a pure Elixir library for generating fake data.
