Senior🎓
Top SchoolVictor Van Poppelen is a Senior Software Developer with 12 years' experience building everything from operating systems and high-performance tools to embedded software, distributed back-ends and Vue-based front-end clients. He has a strong track record modernizing legacy systems—extracting functionality from monoliths into containerized Java services and enabling incremental adoption of Vue across server- and client-rendered pages. His background in systems performance (including low-level CPU and kernel work at IBM) complements his practical experience shipping validation, CI/CD and OpenAPI-driven integrations. An active contributor to testing infrastructure for the popular vue-test-utils library, he focuses on edge cases and compatibility to improve reliability across Vue versions. Based in the Netherlands with an Honours Math & Physics degree from McGill, he combines analytical rigor with a pragmatic engineering style that favors robust, testable systems. Notably, he bridges deep systems knowledge with modern full-stack practices, making him effective at both performance tuning and user-facing feature delivery.
