Sebastián Vansteenkiste
@sebastinvansteenkist
Senior .NET full‑stack engineer and engineering manager focused on reliable delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior software engineer and engineering manager with 12+ years of professional experience delivering .NET-based solutions across startups and large enterprises. I have worked as an individual contributor, tech/team lead and line manager for distributed, multicultural teams, coordinating releases, resolving conflicts and improving development practices.
My technical core is the .NET ecosystem including Blazor and Xamarin, complemented by Python, JavaScript/React, Node.js and Azure infrastructure. I have led the design and implementation of backend APIs, micro-frontends, CI/CD pipelines, and integrations with external systems while championing TDD, documentation and cross-team collaboration.
I look for roles where change is embraced, difficult conversations are handled with empathy, and technical excellence aligns with clear product goals. I bring hands-on engineering, hiring and mentoring experience, and a proven record of delivering maintainable, well-documented systems in complex environments.
