About

I'm a Cloud (Native) Engineer that loves to work with open source technologies. My languages of choice are Rust and C# (history of Microsoft focused software development). At a high level IT and software development is all about managing complexity, and I like to reduce it to keep things clean and maintainable.

Some things I've built for clients:

✅ Built the foundational event-driven (completely greenfield) microservices platform for a startup: increasing their development velocity, enabling future proof feature growth and enabled increased velocity through CI/CD and DevOps best practices.

✅ Developed the backend API's for native iOS/Android apps supporting a large business acquisition of an online auctions platform with 10.000+ active daily users and implemented security and performance improvements.

✅ Delivered a Business Intelligence platform with strict security requirements using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) in an Azure Landing Zone. Also improved the resilience and fault tolerance of application workloads by identifying potential bottlenecks.

✅ Host Architecture Kata meetup sessions to enable (potential) Software Architects practice their architecting skills in a safe, hands-on, collaborative environment.

✅ Reduced cloud cost by phasing out, refactoring and improving existing solutions in a Cloud Platform team in the context of a high data volume IoT (telemetry), near real-time data processing platform.
