Top SchoolMinto Van Der Sluis is a solutions architect and seasoned application developer with 13+ years of experience designing and improving backend and integration-heavy systems across finance, telecom, healthcare and cloud-native startups. He combines hands-on expertise in Java, C++, API-first design (OpenAPI/AsyncAPI), and native cloud platforms (Functions, Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes) with a strong track record of turning monoliths into scalable, componentized architectures. As a founder or co-founder across several ventures and contributor to projects like SmallRye Reactive Messaging (adding dynamic MQTT topics), he blends entrepreneurial drive with open-source collaboration. Known for pragmatic, model-driven design, test-first practices and clear documentation (RFCs/ADRs), he routinely aligns technical strategy with business risk and operational needs. Based in Amsterdam, he brings deep experience building pluggable, future-proof systems—often surfacing non-obvious risks in data quality and fixing them before they become production issues.
