AWS Cloud Solutions Architect
Transforming businesses with cloud-native solutions, infrastructure automation, and 10+ years of engineering excellence
About Me
I am a Cloud Solutions Architect and Cloud Engineer with more than 10 years of experience based in the Netherlands. I started as a Full Stack Web Developer and gradually transitioned into the AWS and infrastructure world.
In recent years, I've focused on cloud architecture, infrastructure as code (Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation), automation, and cloud-native software development with Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
Thanks to my software engineering skills and deep AWS knowledge, I've automated many AWS-related processes including application deployments, reactive security, and data pipelines. I've worked in platform engineering, SRE, and DevOps roles, enabling developers to deploy applications to AWS (EKS, ECS, Lambda, EC2) easily while ensuring high reliability and predictable costs with low operational overhead.
Available for both short-term and long-term projects, consultations, part-time or full-time engagements. Whether you need a quick consultation, project-based work, or ongoing support, I'm here to help you achieve your cloud goals.
