Cloud Native Software Engineer
Building cloud-native software, AWS platforms, and automation with 10+ years of hands-on engineering experience
About Me
I am a cloud-native software engineer and cloud engineer with more than 10 years of experience based in the Netherlands. I started as a Full Stack Web Developer and gradually moved deeper into AWS, infrastructure, and platform engineering.
My work sits at the intersection of application development, cloud architecture, infrastructure as code (Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation), automation, and cloud-native software development with Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
I combine software engineering depth with AWS experience to automate application deployments, reactive security, data pipelines, and operational workflows. I've worked in platform engineering, SRE, DevOps, and cloud engineering roles, enabling developers to deploy applications to AWS (EKS, ECS, Lambda, EC2) easily while keeping systems reliable, secure, and cost-aware.
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 software and cloud goals.
