Tom Jorissen is a pragmatic software architect and senior engineer with over a decade of professional experience and another decade of programming before that, currently shaping platforms at Renta Solutions. He combines deep JVM and Java expertise with platform engineering skills—Kubernetes, DevOps automation, and declarative infrastructure—to modernize stacks and design robust, maintainable systems. Tom frequently operates at the intersection of hands-on full‑stack delivery and long-term architectural decision‑making, favoring technical leadership over people management while guiding teams on what to build and why. His background spans event-driven architectures, CDC/outbox patterns with Debezium and Pulsar, large legacy Java monoliths, and cloud/private on‑prem deployments, giving him a strong practical sense for migration and interoperability challenges. Based in Tessenderlo, Belgium, he thrives in collaborative, agile environments and is motivated by thoughtful, well‑engineered solutions rather than quick fixes. A builder at heart, he pairs careful systems thinking with a willingness to roll up his sleeves and implement the tough parts.
