Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolXander Lenstra is an Android Developer with five years of practical experience and a strong academic background in mathematics and computer science from Leiden University, currently working at HomeWizard. He prefers Kotlin and Python, has hands-on experience in C++ and some TypeScript, and enjoys bringing theory into production-ready apps rather than academic research. Xander contributed substantive game-logic and UI features to the notable open-source Unciv project—implementing units, promotions and a complete in-game religion system—demonstrating careful systems thinking and attention to interactive UX. A critical, self-motivated problem-solver who thrives in collaborative, office-first teams, he seeks a 30–35 hour/week junior engineering role in the Leiden area or within an hour’s commute.
