About the Authors

Stijn Dejongh

Stijn Dejongh is a systems thinker, architect, and quiet coach.

He writes about software development, team dynamics, and the messy space between architecture and human behavior. His work blends technical clarity with psychological insight, always rooted in the realities of complex systems.

Stijn prefers honest questions over polished slogans. He values mentorship over management, coherence over cleverness, and structure over spectacle. His writing lives at the intersection of calm, clarity, and context. You can find more of his work at patterns.sddevelopment.be, where he shares architectural practices, thought frameworks, and reflections on building better systems — and becoming a better part of them.
