Speaker: Omer van Kloeten

Principal Engineer @Forter

Omer van Kloeten is a Principal Engineer at Forter, a fraud-prevention company, where for nearly six years his work has circled one obsession: making engineering legible - turning the tacit, the implicit, and the invisible into things people can actually read and act on. He's done it with organizational knowledge (narratives for the company's IC track, regular Lightning Talks, and a product-thinking workshop for engineers he initiated), with cross-company contracts (a data sharing protocol adopted across multiple top-tier US banks), and with architecture and vision (Forter's billing engineering strategy and the company's engineering north star). Telem is that same instinct aimed at the AI age, distilling his engineering judgment - developed over 25 years in the industry as a Staff+ engineer and repeat architect at companies like WeWork and BigPanda - into a method proven first on Forter's customer-facing gateway, then across Node and Python services, with JVM next.
