Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom Van De Putte is an experienced PHP developer and systems/DBA administrator with 11 years building backend systems, web crawlers, and data-management platforms while also running a working farm in Ghent. He has led backend engineering at startups like TapCrowd and built integrations (AdWords SOAP), complex multicurl scrapers, and reusable WordPress/Joomla components across agency and product environments. Tom combines hands-on MySQL design, administration and optimization with practical DevOps experience managing CentOS servers, deployment tooling and CLI management utilities. His career shows a pattern of solving data-heavy problems—linkbuilding, analytics, and office planning—often by crafting bespoke frameworks and automation. Equally comfortable in legacy PHP/OOP stacks and infrastructure work, he brings a pragmatic, operations-minded approach to software that reflects both production constraints and long-term maintainability. Unusually for an engineer, he pairs this technical depth with ongoing agricultural leadership, suggesting strong project stewardship and resilience.
