About

Java and DevOps engineer. I write code that ships, set up infrastructure that stays up, and keep pipelines from falling over.

Based in Breda, Netherlands. Working on citizen services at Pinkroccade. Before that I built healthcare systems, warehouse platforms, and automotive after-sales tools across South Africa, Germany, and the UK.
