Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWouter Wolters is a development manager with 14 years of hands-on software engineering experience, now leading engineering at Probo.nl after six years managing development at Exact Online Bouw. He combines deep PHP and CMS expertise—especially with Yii2, TYPO3/Neos and Flow—with modern frontend work in Vue.js and disciplined tooling (GIT, Composer, PHP-FIG). An experienced back-end contributor to major open-source projects like TYPO3, Neos and Flow, he’s known for pragmatic refactors, bug fixes and codebase modernizations that improve maintainability across templating, view helpers and core services. Based in Damwâld, he brings both team leadership and day-to-day coding credibility, having been a certified TYPO3 integrator and long-time lead developer. A detail-oriented engineer, he often surfaces subtle quality improvements (for example, safer variable initialization and DateTime handling in view helpers) that reduce runtime surprises.
