Background

About Zelre Stemmet

I’m a software engineer with 10+ years of experience. I started as a full-stack engineer and later specialized in frontend engineering. I enjoy making sense of chaos and complexity and turn it into simplicity and structure, whether this is building a new feature for an end user or documenting technical architecture to help a team accelerate development. For the last 3 years, I explored a world with even harder problems, balancing the technical, the business, and the people. As an engineering manager, I lead cross-functional teams through the design, development, and implementation of innovative engineering solutions, ensuring teams solve the right problems, deliver on time, feel challenged and have fun. I am passionate about continuous improvement, building a warm and curious engineering culture, and learning about the synergy between business, engineering, and people. In my personal life, I enjoy running on the beach mostly to watch people, jump into one of my hobbies like building model aircrafts or lego, read a book, or invite friends over for a lekker long braai and hopefully treat them with a new recipe on the side.
