What I love to do is getting to know people and their needs. Because when you know the needs, you can create smart (cloud) solutions, business-processes and/or automations so IT is no longer a bottleneck but an enabler.
Below you'll find some highlights of my career and education.
BrainGrounds
Okt 2022 - current
This job has a wide range of activities. First of all, I've developed the Cloud-based Data Framework solution. This platform is able to ingest data from different sources (e.g. IOT, On Premises file shares/databases, other clouds) so BrainGrounds can extract, transform and load information to the business of our customers. This platform is fully scalable and fast to deploy because it's built with Terraform (IAC).
Besides the development of this platform, setting up the internal IT was also part of the job. This was done by using Office365, Azure, Intune and Apple Business Manager to make sure we were getting the most out of the licenses that were already used.
Because BrainGrounds is working with important data, we had to make sure everything was built in a secure way. Therefore, I've also setup Device-Management, User- & Account management and Cloud-security to make sure we stay in control of all our resources.

Jan 2020 - Sept 2022
Senior System engineer for Jumbo Supermarkten BV. The main focus was all about positioning- and implementing the Azure Cloud within the IT-infrastructure of Jumbo. That it was a success is clear because the last project I've been working on was the replacement of the on-premises Citrix-environment for AVD including all the preconditions (e.g. hardware, software, user data, business processes) for all 700+ stores. I've made the High- and Low-level-designs on how to accomplish this and had an active participation within the project.
Besides AVD, finding solutions using Azure Native Solutions (e.g. Azure File Shares, Azure Automation Accounts, Azure Applications) and implementing OKTA as IDP for all the Cloud-solutions within Jumbo was also part of the job. The goal was elevating the IT of Jumbo to the next level by making use of a cloud-first-strategy.
Also (besides working for Jumbo) I've worked within Simac on the development on a Desktop-As-A-Service-solution that's part of the portfolio of Services that Simac can deliver. It's delivered with the use of Azure DevOps IAC for a smooth and fast deployment.

A team is not just a group of people working together. It's about elevating- and making each other better while sharing the good (and sometimes the bad) moments together.
Doing the same routines repeatedly is not only time-consuming, but errors will be made. By automating processes, IT will make your life more comfortable.
When making decisions, finding root causes or selecting solutions it's important to use structured approaches to reach the goals you are working to.
