Senior🎓
Top SchoolXander Stoffels is a Senior Software Engineer based in Tokyo with a decade of experience focused on .NET, software design, and distributed systems. He has moved between finance and tech firms—most recently at Engage Squared after a stint at Nomura and Crédit Agricole CIB—bringing practical production experience to complex, high-stakes environments. A curious polyglot programmer, he devotes much of his free time to side projects to explore new languages and paradigms and to translate those learnings into pragmatic designs. He also mentors learners and hobbyists, sharing knowledge gained from internships in NLP at Oracle and early volunteer teaching. Known for combining disciplined engineering with a learner’s mindset, he pairs rigorous academic foundations from KU Leuven and Karel de Grote-Hogeschool with real-world delivery. Living in Tokyo and studying Japanese adds a cross-cultural dimension that helps him collaborate across global teams.
