In order of how often it’s asked:

Platform & infrastructure

  • Kubernetes: setting up, running, or taking over an existing cluster.
  • Migrations: managed K8s to bare-metal or on-prem, and back.
  • GitOps with ArgoCD: from loose YAML to a clean app-of-apps structure.
  • Proxmox virtualisation: for when Kubernetes is overkill — more often than you’d think.

Compliance

  • Existing controls under critical review: drop what doesn’t work, capture what does.
  • No paperwork for paperwork’s sake — documentation follows practice, not the other way around.
  • Agentic handiwork where it fits: RCAs, non-conformities and audit trail automated where it can be, human-in-the-loop where it must be.

Open source & funding

  • NLnet NGI Zero applications, written and shepherded.
  • Innovation Budget Digital Government and similar programmes.
  • WBSO (Dutch R&D tax credit): technical substantiation that survives the RVO review.
  • Code and proposal hand in hand — no fair-weather deliverables.

How I work

By the day, by the project, or interim. Remote from North Holland, on site when needed.

I think, I test, I do. For code: spec-driven development.
