Experience

  1. GitLab

    Senior Backend Engineer · Amsterdam, NL

    Security Platform Management — security configuration and inventory on GitLab's core product.

    • Built async bulk-operation workers for attaching and detaching scan profiles across large project hierarchies.
    • Implemented Security Inventory attributes: bulk add/remove/replace across groups and projects, filtering, and template-based defaults.
    • Drove GraphQL performance work for security inventory queries and retired optimization feature flags after rollout.
    • Added audit events for scan-profile and attribute changes for compliance and traceability.
    • Resolved high-impact production bugs across CI/CD config generation, database concurrency, and traversal-ID integrity.
