Summary
Cor Takken is a senior lead developer and software architect with over 12 years of experience designing and delivering enterprise applications across finance, government and telecom sectors. He brings deep Java EE expertise combined with rare legacy-platform knowledge (OS/400, AS/400, RPG) and a track record of guiding teams as a certified Scrum Master and Prince2/RUP project lead. Cor has repeatedly bridged old and new worlds—transforming AS/400 products to integrate with Unix architectures and building back-end interfaces for complex banking systems like LoanIQ. Comfortable both hands-on and in advisory roles, he sets quality standards, mentors backend teams, and shapes application architecture for high-stakes production environments. Based in Enkhuizen, he balances daytime architecture work with a tinkerer’s persistence at home—often debugging or resurrecting PCs after hours.
