assessed from open-source footprint

Senior

Michiel is a long-tenured programmer and teacher whose standout is sustained activity: 267 commits in the past year, headlined by Schoology Improved (4★), a PHP tool extending the Schoology LMS API beyond its web UI. Strengths are EdTech domain depth and polish across PHP, TypeScript and C#; the caveat is modest reach (6★ total) and a mostly-abandoned back catalogue. A dependable mid-level backend engineer for education or internal-tooling teams.
