Hello, I’m Jonas Cap
Building applications, infrastructure, and automation from development to production.
Engineering range
I work across application code and the systems around it. That wider view helps me build software that remains understandable, reliable and operable beyond the development environment.
Backend services and APIs with clear boundaries, thoughtful data models and production-ready behaviour.
Identity, systems and networks designed to be secure, understandable and maintainable.
Repeatable delivery and operational workflows that reduce manual work and make change safer.
Tracing behaviour across application, identity, network and infrastructure layers to diagnose failures and design more operable systems.
Selected work
Selected projects showing how I approach backend architecture, product engineering and infrastructure.
Cappio · Identity & platform engineering
A secure, role-based platform with provider-agnostic identity, database-agnostic persistence and revocable sessions behind a cohesive Next.js experience.
My role · Founder · Software & Platform Engineer
Startup · Product engineering
A climbing product built to connect communities and make progress tracking feel effortless.
My role · Co-founder & Full-stack Engineer
AWS EKS · DevOps
An end-to-end AWS platform with automated infrastructure, container delivery and Kubernetes deployment.
My role · DevOps & Platform Engineer
Backend · Systems design
A deliberate backend rewrite focused on predictable startup, clear boundaries and production behaviour.
My role · Backend Engineer
Experience
Three years in professional infrastructure and IT engineering, backed by hands-on work since 2018 and experience building my own software products.
Sep 2025 — present
I turn product requirements into operated systems across application and platform layers. I build web applications and APIs with ASP.NET Core, Go and Next.js, design data services with MongoDB and PostgreSQL, integrate secure identity, and automate Docker and Kubernetes infrastructure with Terraform, Ansible, AWS and GitHub Actions. I own architecture, delivery, reliability and production support end to end.

Sep 2024 — present
At Vrije Technische Scholen Sint-Niklaas, I automate identity and infrastructure processes with PowerShell and Python, integrate Microsoft 365, Active Directory and Entra ID, and troubleshoot complex issues across Windows, Linux, network and cloud environments.

Sep 2023 — Sep 2024
I administered user accounts, endpoints, network services and Microsoft environments, while diagnosing faults across server, network and workplace systems.

Jan 2023 — Sep 2024
I developed a full-stack climbing application, designed its software architecture, and built the infrastructure and deployment around it while iterating on the product with the founding team.
How I work
Good engineering starts before implementation: by understanding the underlying system, its constraints and the people responsible for operating it.
