    Summary

    Freelance cloud architect and software engineer with 25 years. Through my consulting practice, Enhalon, I work hands-on with engineering teams on cloud platforms, Kubernetes, DevOps, and the custom software around them, mostly on AWS and GCP, with private cloud, colocation, and hybrid setups when that is the fit. I build the shared platform other teams depend on: landing zones, account structure, networking and identity, CI/CD, and the developer tooling around it, and I have run AWS landing zones spanning hundreds of accounts and the workload teams on them. I also redesign systems that can no longer carry their load, and bring AI-assisted development and security, from hardening to penetration testing and incident response, into the teams I work with. Across the stack I work in Go, Python, and TypeScript/Node.js, and coach the team that takes it over.

    I co-organize the Go Amsterdam meetup and speak at meetups and conferences on platform and software engineering.

    Founder

    Enhalon · Netherlands

    I started Enhalon as my own consulting practice, so I can work hands on with engineering teams on cloud platforms, Kubernetes, DevOps, and the custom software that is missing around them.

    • Cloud platform engineering on AWS and GCP: landing zones, multi-account setup, workload-team onboarding.
    • Private cloud, colocation, and hybrid infrastructure: datacenter design, dedicated hardware, and cross-provider setups that bridge colo and public cloud.
    • Kubernetes and container platforms: setup, operation, multi-tenant cluster design, and cleanup of existing clusters.
    • Custom platform tooling: Terraform providers, HashiCorp Vault plugins, change-management and compliance frameworks.
    • Observability with Grafana, Prometheus, Pyroscope, and OpenTelemetry across services, tests, and staging.
    • Automation and CI/CD pipelines, including migrations off legacy systems like Jenkins.
    • Monolith-to-microservices refactors and the architecture work around them.
    • Architecture and redesign of systems that can no longer carry their load.

    Principal Engineer (Contract)

    Enruto · Cyprus

    I am the architect on a redesign of the whole system so it can scale. The platform could not carry its load, and for the first time in years it can now run at full capacity.

    • Redesigned the platform around an event-driven architecture on RabbitMQ, moving the high-demand work out of PHP and into dedicated Go services.
    • Built the Go worker platform for email, billing, reports, and quote fan-out across providers.
    • Moved part of the platform to AWS, including email delivery, event handling, and the data lake.
    • Migrated GCP from a single project to a multi-project organization, with identity and access management, organization policies, alerting, and a BigQuery and Cloud Storage data lake matching the AWS one.
    • Built booking and driver app features on Google Maps Platform (Places, Geocoding, Directions, Distance Matrix, Time Zone), with restricted keys, cost control, and caching.
    • Designed the move of three booking brands onto one multi-tenant platform, where a brand is configuration instead of a separate copy of the site.
    • Architected the Complaints Resolution Centre, a standalone complaints platform for the booking sites.
    • Designed and built the new sign-in system, with per-brand logins and sign-in links.
    • Brought AI into the platform and the team: assisted workspaces and development, issue tracking, sorting and tagging emails, and analyzing content.
    • Built a CLI that runs the platform locally.

    IT Consultant (Platform / Modernization)

    PwC · Netherlands

    There were two strands to this one. I modernized an internal platform from a monolith into microservices on Kubernetes with real observability, and built a self service developer environment platform that ended up being used across territories.

    • Built a self-service development-environment platform on Coder, hosted on Kubernetes inside the firm's network. Hundreds of developers use it, with onboarding cut from hours of setup plus weeks of troubleshooting to minutes, on disposable browser-based workspaces that work across territories regardless of laptop policy or hardware.
    • Integrated AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and a custom internal assistant) into the developer platform, so builders work with AI assistance directly in their workspaces.
    • Refactored and built services in Go, Node.js, and Python with React and Angular front ends.
    • Migrated CI/CD from Jenkins to GitHub Actions and moved deployments onto Kubernetes.
    • Built out testing with Jest and Playwright wired into CI, and observability with Grafana, Prometheus, Pyroscope, and OpenTelemetry.
    • Consolidated boilerplate into reusable service templates and mentored engineers across dev and ops.
    • Tightened the monitoring, alerting, and incident workflow.

    Lead Cloud Consultant (Platform)

    LeasePlan · Netherlands

    I worked on the foundations of the AWS landing zone, and on the in house tooling that the workload teams use to operate on top of it. LeasePlan runs around 1.9 million vehicles across 29 countries on that estate, so the platform has to hold up.

    • Owned the AWS multi-account landing zone that hundreds of accounts and workload teams ran on: a standardized account structure (per team and per environment), centralized identity and SSO, a designed network layer with VPCs, segmentation, and cross-account connectivity, and shared services for logging and identity.
    • Set the security and governance baseline with IAM and Service Control Policies, automated guardrails, and centralized monitoring, replacing the per-team and per-region drift so teams deployed into a known-good baseline instead of building the foundations themselves.
    • Cut new-workload onboarding from weeks to days and reduced manual provisioning and compliance effort by about 70% on the team's own measurement.
    • Replaced a commercial artifact repository with a self-hosted one at a fraction of the cost, with no change to engineers' workflows.
    • Built custom Terraform providers and HashiCorp Vault plugins, and a change-management and compliance framework in Go that automated the common checks and produced audit trails as a side effect.
    • Ran the self-hosted GitLab instance and its CI/CD: runners, pipeline configuration, and keeping builds fast across the workload teams.
    • Wrote platform-side software so users had a coherent way to interact with the platform.
    • Contributed to architecture decisions and worked across teams on platform problems.
    • Worked with the SOC on detection and response.

    Schuberg Philis · Amsterdam Area, Netherlands

    I worked directly with Enexis, KLM and NS on landing zones for AWS, GCP and Azure, multi tenant Kubernetes, and a migration from ECS to Kubernetes. There were a few specialized builds as well, a GDPR compliant PII store for KLM, and software for the Dutch trains that runs at the edge.

    • Stood up an AWS landing zone in 2019 for Enexis, a Dutch grid operator serving millions of households, that grew to hundreds of accounts, and extended provisioning into Azure with one cross-cloud workflow for environments and policy.
    • Built a cost-visibility model (tagging, per-team budgets and alerts) that made cloud spend attributable, with automated security response for misconfigured buckets and unexpected IAM changes.
    • Designed and built a GDPR PII platform on GCP for KLM, an airline serving millions of passengers: a central repository on Cloud Spanner with ETL from dozens of legacy systems, and a Cloud Functions and Pub/Sub workflow engine handling subject-access and erasure end-to-end. Cut GDPR response from weeks to minutes, with headroom for 10,000 requests per second.
    • Built a GCP landing zone for several teams at KLM.
    • Ran the ECS-to-Kubernetes migration: multi-tenant clusters for shared services and dedicated clusters for stricter isolation. New environments dropped from weeks of tickets to hours of self-service.
    • Helped grow the engineering team, supported AWS and GCP customers on architecture, ran workshops, and worked on RFPs and tenders that fed into customer contracts.
    • Developed edge software for Dutch trains (NS), including real-time simulation software for testing.
