JACO VAN STRYP

Software Engineer II @ Rocket Lab

📍 Auckland, New Zealand

I build the software that builds rockets. At Rocket Lab, I work on the manufacturing execution system that production teams use every day to assemble Electron and Neutron rockets.

Before that, I spent four years at Sybrin where I built Vitals on my own - an automated recovery system that keeps 30+ banks running across 14 African countries without anyone having to touch it. I ended up leading a dev team there and picked up Best Innovator and Best Team Leader along the way.
