Juan-luke Klopper
Fullstack Software Engineer who loves cryptography, automation, and exploring new technologies. I’m currently building in the gaming industry at Games Global, where my day-to-day work blends product engineering, reliability, and practical systems thinking.
This site is intentionally scroll-driven: each major 3D scene should move into focus and then pass by as you progress, mirroring a long-form technical journey rather than a static page.

About
I design and ship production software across Rust, TypeScript/JavaScript, Ruby, and cloud-native stacks. I care deeply about clean architecture, observability, and automation-first workflows that help teams move fast without sacrificing confidence.
My strongest interest areas include secure-by-default systems, practical DevSecOps, and developer tooling that removes repetitive friction from engineering teams.
Experience
- Software Engineer · Games Global — building and maintaining production software in the gaming domain, with a focus on reliability, performance, and scalable delivery patterns.
- DevOps Engineer · NextNet — contributed to cloud platform development, deployment, and maintenance, improving operational resilience and release consistency.
- Blockchain / Infrastructure Engineering — delivered ecosystem tooling, automation scripts, and community-facing integrations in decentralized environments.
- Applied Automation Work — earlier project work included IoT and telemetry implementations, translating real-world operational needs into maintainable software and control flows.
- Current growth track — actively leveling up in DevSecOps to combine secure practices with practical engineering throughput.
