Bio
Andre Kriek
Gustav commands a wealth of technical knowledge, the breadth of which spans further than just the writing of good software. His knowledge around agile methodology and ways of working are on par with that of a professional scrum master. Gustav has a clear passion for processes in general and uses this as foundation to solve complex business problems. He has an elegant way of compassionate communication, whether in teaching something new or correcting a misunderstanding. I believe that this stems from the fact that he genuinely wants the best for people. Although in my opinion Gustav would be able to adapt to any role in the technology space, he has the classic profile of a principle engineer. Gustav would make a highly capable and dependable addition to any team. I hope our paths cross again in the future.

Gustav and I started working together as line managers at the same time. We would often sit together and share experiences and ideas, it's one of the things I am going to miss the most about working with him. Gustav is curious and caring, he wants the best for those he directs. He carries with him a vast knowledge over a good number of domains and could recommend a book for almost any problem I would be going through. I would recommend him as both a great engineer and a manager. I know that having him apart of our team only made us better. Gustav positively impacted our culture moving forward, I think that even though he is no longer working with us his ideas and passion resides in the frameworks we have for our team.
