Engineers and colleagues at The Factory, in their own words. What they work on, how they got here, and what they do outside of work.

Lars Nonnekes: from software to platform engineering

Lars moved from application development toward platform-style work: pipelines, reliability, and the same stamina he brings to long mountain trails (including Corsica’s GR20).

Marieke van der Marel: customer success with intent

Marieke bridges clients and delivery: structured days, honest communication, and energy from routine: yoga and a good coffee before the work starts.

Jordy and Richard keep mission-critical platforms running around the clock: the kind of ownership that shows up in incidents and architecture reviews alike. Outside work they unwind with tabletop role-playing: same appetite for systems thinking, different domain.

Lucas works on Azure landing zones and platform integrations during the day, and trains for ultra-distance trail runs in the mountains on the weekend: same appetite for long, demanding routes. Read the story

Max brings deep automation experience to client platforms: and spends downtime growing food in his garden: patience, iteration, and attention to environment.

Founders Joep and Mike built The Factory to keep engineering standards high at scale: complementary strengths, shared ownership of outcomes.
