I'm a software engineer, cloud architect, and consultant who builds systems that survive production, and who knows technology only matters when it delivers business value. I help enterprise teams move from ambitious diagrams to maintainable, resilient, future-proof platforms, and I'm currently an Innovation Consultant at ING.
Tech: Azure, cloud-native and serverless architectures, .NET/C#, Python, Terraform and Infrastructure as Code, M365, service integration, and GitHub Copilot and AI. Before ING, I spent nearly a decade at Sogeti as a Principal Consultant, lead developer, and architect. I'm a Microsoft Certified Azure Solutions Architect Expert.
Business: My work spans government, energy, fintech, and insurance, where architecture decisions have to hold up under delivery pressure, regulation, and legacy constraints. I balance resilience, cost, security, and delivery speed, with calm systems thinking and pragmatic trade-offs.
Writing and teaching: I write and teach about Azure and DevOps, including e-learning videos and eBooks for Packt. Selected publications on my blog:
- Securing Enterprise DevOps Environments, a Microsoft and Sogeti co-authored eBook
- 6 Tips to Integrate Security into Your DevOps Practices, a Sogeti and Microsoft paper
- A contribution on HashiCorp Packer, Terraform, and IaC for SDN Magazine (in Dutch)
