Maarten Huijsmans

I design and build high-quality software products with a focus on reliability and clarity. I have extensive experience with distributed cloud systems and enjoy working on hard problems. Lately, I'm going deep on AI-native development - building agentic systems, integrating LLMs into products, and deploying machine learning at scale.

Things I Can Do

I primarily work with Python and Node, and I've been picking up Rust on the side. I build scalable software systems, deploy them with Docker & Kubernetes on AWS & Google Cloud, and increasingly work with LLMs and agentic frameworks.

• Build robust software
• Build agentic systems
• Build beautiful APIs
• Drink coffee

• Lead engineering teams
