Backend Engineer · Python, FastAPI, Kubernetes · Building Production-Grade APIs & AI Services

📍 Purmerder, The Netherlands · 🌐 Open to Remote & Hybrid

I build backend systems that actually run in production — not just locally on my machine.

Before writing code full-time, I spent 12 years in enterprise operations and procurement — managing supply chains, negotiating contracts, and leading cross-functional projects. That background gave me something most engineers don't have: a deep understanding of how businesses actually work.

Currently building AI-powered backend services with FastAPI, Docker, Kubernetes, and LLMs. Learning Dutch. Looking for a team where craftsmanship and real engineering are valued.
