Tom De Coninck
CTO Cofounder at Manual.to
Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom De Coninck is a seasoned CTO and cofounder with 14 years of professional experience and over a decade building software for large-scale datacenter environments. He combines hands-on engineering—covering design, development, and testing—with strategic leadership across multiple startups he helped found, including Manual.to and Binders, while running his own consultancy, Section 9. His background spans enterprise-grade systems at Symantec to full-stack work for SaaS platforms, giving him deep operational insight into reliability, scalability, and product delivery. Based in Antwerp with a Master's in Computer Science from Ghent University, he is comfortable bridging low-level infrastructure concerns and modern web technologies, including .NET. Not obvious from titles alone: he frequently operates as both architect and implementer, preferring to shepherd projects from prototype through production rather than hand off at the design phase.
