With more than 20 years of experience in the Service Provider, Telco, and Finance market I had the pleasure to work with the largest companies in Europe. As IT Solution Architect I enjoyed designing large scale monitoring solutions integrating IBM Tivoli Netcool with OSS, BSS and other (open source) monitoring systems.

While companies moved to the cloud, I've moved with them advancing to Cloud Architect using the same proven design principles. With my hands-on Cloud Infrastructure and Monitoring experience I can free up Application Developers by setting up the right cloud solution, design and implement programmatic deployments (CICD pipelines), and setup (microservices) application monitoring. This by fully leveraging Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Packer, Ansible, Docker, Jenkins, etc). As a trusted advisor I’m also able to support Business Owners with making informed Cloud and DevOps decisions balancing the costs of a solution with business, process, and organizational requirements.

Being seen as a team player, I like to listen to people and try to understand their needs. Consolidate all thoughts, use a methodical and structured approach based on best practices to make it work for all parties (win-win). This can be as simple as a talk over coffee or a formal presentation with all stakeholders to present possible solutions.

In a constantly changing IT landscape, I understand that today’s knowledge can be old tomorrow. I like to follow new trends and educate myself with the latest best practices in the market. This enables me to continuously improve my role and responsibilities.
