I design and build cloud-native solutions on AWS

I like to solve complex puzzles together to create value for businesses. Simply put: I love to build, and I love to help people build!

During my career as a cloud specialist, I worked on many cloud & DevOps projects. I did this for large enterprises, SME, and start-up teams, often in regulated industries. My role was diverse and ranged from hands-on cloud & DevOps engineering to helping with the implementation of cloud strategy.

I strongly believe that embracing cloud-native technology, which is not limited to containers and serverless, is a highly effective way to achieve business goals. However, it also has limits. That is why in all of my engagements, I will try to align with business owners to balance value creation with short term and long term development effort. The result is a solution that works for your specific needs.

What I Do

Enable your cloud & DevOps transformation from multiple angles.

Design cloud-native platforms

Set your business up for success by building on a technical foundation based on best-practices.
Choosing the correct services is hard, but everybody can do it! It just takes practice.

Build & Accelerate

Meeting a tight deadline puts pressure on a team, especially in regulated industries.
A large repository of production-ready, pre-made infrastructure might be just what you need…

Navigate your journey

Less than 50% of cloud journeys end up in their desired destination in one shot.
Navigating back to value creation and innovation can be done, together.

Knowledge sharing

Workshops, pair programming or demo’s can help you and your team make better decisions and operate your workload more effectively.

DevOps & Automation

Give your developers a boost with CI/CD pipelines, automating processes and testing. Basically all the heavy lifting to get your work done quicker!

Innovate & Inspire

Running experiments is wildly important (and fun!) to be successful in the cloud.
Serverless and cloud-native designs can be just what you need to get started!
