Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolXimon Eighteen is a Senior Software Developer with 20+ years of hands-on engineering and leadership experience, currently focused on system architecture and quality across the full development lifecycle. He blends deep low-level expertise in C/C++ and Rust with cloud-native practice (AWS since 2013, plus Azure and DigitalOcean), driving end-to-end ownership from design through monitoring and ops. At NLnet Labs he built automation, packaging and deployment tooling for RPKI services and contributed Rust features to production projects like Krill, while upstream open-source work includes RFC-aligned OAuth2 improvements in a popular Rust client library. A proven manager and architect from TomTom to Greenpeace, he pairs practical Scrum and offshore-team experience with a preference for measurable, incremental improvements and learning through real-world failure. He is unusually hands-on for an architect—comfortable doing packet captures and interpreting TCP/IP when others cannot—and enjoys shaping teams to own every layer of their product.
