Hi there!
My name is Pieter, I am a passionate Software Engineer with a strong focus towards backend development. I also have experience in DevOps tooling, including setting up CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes clusters. Finally, I like to automate whatever I can to avoid repetitive tasks. All of this comes with a healthy interest for application security.
Job experience
Part of the Menu Team. I drafted a proposal to completely rework the permission model from scratch and implemented the backend, incorporating a library approach to share permissions across multiple projects in both Python and TypeScript from a single codebase. I set up SSO for international enterprise chains and coordinated the rollout in close collaboration with their IT staff.
Furthermore, I built a proof of concept for using AI to update menus, which later served as the foundation for our in-house AI team.
Additionally, I was responsible for reworking the scheduling of menus across multiple delivery service providers in a consistent manner while accounting for the specific restrictions of each provider.
Part of the Core and Post-Activation Teams. I primarily worked on revamping product management to handle accounts that have the same product across multiple locations in a scalable manner.
Additionally, I began exploring the infrastructure and security aspects of the application, addressing various security vulnerabilities.
I also joined the in-house mentorship program and taught Python classes to interested employees from other departments.
During my time as a medior-level developer, I received two company awards: Regional Employee of the Quarter and Global Most Impactful Side Project.
Part of the Core Team, initially as an intern. I was responsible for implementing requests from the Customer Success and Support teams regarding menus, products, order processing, and users.
In my spare time, I developed a live dashboard that visualizes our orders per second, projects this data onto a world map, and sends alerts to the entire company when we reach certain milestones. As of 2024, this hobby project now serves as the primary input driver for all alerting and detection systems related to order failures.
Internship as part of my Master in Computer Science degree. Responsible for setting up an Apache NiFi cluster with dataflow pipelines. Additionally, created some tools in C++ and Java for internal use.
