Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTom Janssen is a software engineer with 14 years of experience, blending backend development and systems thinking across academia and industry from the Netherlands to Zurich. Currently a PhD student in Transport Systems at ETH Zürich, he pairs rigorous research with practical engineering, having contributed backend improvements to the popular Filament PHP admin framework. His background in systems and control (MSc cum laude) and mechanical engineering gives him a strong foundation in dynamics, testing, and maintainable code—skills he applied as a software test engineer at Rockbotics and in university research roles. Tom is comfortable refactoring complex codebases, improving maintainability, and adding pragmatic features like boolean filters and default selects in open-source projects. Colleagues describe him as detail-oriented and curious, equally at home writing robust tests or extracting methods to clarify intent. He brings a rare combination of academic rigor and hands-on backend craftsmanship to engineering teams.
