Introduction

I am John Schaap, a passionate software engineer, architect, and accomplished technical lead based in Katwijk. For me, software development transcends mere professional engagement; it is a passion. I pursue the exploration of cutting-edge technology and their practical implementation. My work ethic is characterized by an unwavering commitment to attaining the highest standards of completion in all endeavours.

With an academic and professional foundation rooted in science, I possess a comprehensive grasp of theoretical concepts. This proficiency extends to the practical realm, enabling me to effectively translate theory into tangible results. My objective is to produce software solutions that are not only functional but are also maintainable and scalable, aligning with fundamental software principles such as SOLID, KISS, and YAGNI.

While engaged in software development for volunteer organizations, I predominantly focused on hands-on coding. My corporate engagement within a multinational context involves multifaceted responsibilities. These encompass leadership roles, including guidance for teams, addressing intricate software challenges, designing microservices architecture, conducting requirement analyses for high-value projects, and offering support in project and stakeholder management.

My aptitude for swiftly comprehending intricate systems equips me to effectively address issues and provide solutions with minimal production impact, even in scenarios unrelated to my own or my team's work. Colleagues often characterize me as resolute, dedicated, and detail-oriented, supported by a consistent history of tenaciously tackling challenges and delivering optimal outcomes, irrespective of complexity.
