JVM and Cloud-Native Software Development with a green heart

Craftsmanship

At Yoink we value our diverse skills and insights to help us build better software. We build and maintain reliable software for medium and large enterprises, using modern technologies and methodologies.

Sharing Knowledge

Knowledge multiplies when you share it and we love doing that. We provide training courses, workshops and regularly speak at conferences.

Having fun

We believe that work can and should be fun! We're committed to creating an energizing, engaging atmosphere where we tackle projects with excitement and enthusiasm.

Knowledge Sharing

At Yoink, we make it our business to learn about the methods and technologies that help us build better software, better teams and a better future. We believe the ultimate step in a learning journey is to pass it on to others. Knowledge sharing is done through trainings, meetups and talks at conferences. There are many great talks available from Yoinkees:
