Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaan Biesterbos is a seasoned web developer with 11 years of hands-on experience building backend systems, search implementations and APIs for high-traffic Dutch platforms and startups. He specializes in PHP and Symfony, Dockerized deployments, and search technologies like Solr and Elasticsearch, and has delivered production services for companies including DPG Media, LeaseWeb and HarlemNext. Daan combines strong object-oriented design with pragmatic engineering—replacing legacy stacks, introducing protobuf-driven code generation, and standardizing CI/workflows to reduce duplication across services. As a self-taught technologist with broad curiosity, he frequently bridges gaps between teams by mapping problems to appropriate open-source tools and cloud services (Google Cloud, Buf, GCP Functions). He’s comfortable designing integrations (SOAP/REST), scalable queues and caching strategies (RabbitMQ, Redis, Postgres) and shipping solutions end-to-end as a freelance developer. Based in the Randstad, he brings both implementation depth and an eye for simplifying complex infrastructure into maintainable, production-ready systems.
