Wouter Lansu is a seasoned Python software engineer based in Groningen with 12 years of experience building scalable web and data systems across startups and larger organizations. He specializes in backend engineering, API design and event-driven architectures, having implemented production ML service APIs on AWS and streamlined delivery with Kubernetes and CI/CD at KPN. His background includes large-scale data imports with Celery and Elasticsearch, async work, and pragmatic cost-optimization of cloud infrastructure. Comfortable owning end-to-end pipelines, he’s shipped billing, ingestion and transformation systems that bridged engineering and finance needs. Wouter often operates as a hands-on senior engineer who shapes both architecture and day-to-day delivery, bringing a practical product-focused mindset honed across diverse teams. He pairs academic curiosity from humanities studies with a strong operational focus—often taking initiative on tooling and cost visibility that isn’t immediately obvious from product specs.
