Senior Platform Engineer · I build the stuff your code runs on · 🇳🇱 Amsterdam

I'm a platform engineer who's mostly in it for the puzzles. The fun part of this job is untangling a gnarly distributed-systems problem and then turning the fix into something reusable — a controller, an operator, a bit of provisioning — so nobody has to solve it by hand again. Most of what I build these days sits under AI workloads: vector search, inference, and the orchestration holding it together.

• 🔭 Mostly living in Kubernetes — controllers, operators, and provisioning that stands clusters up so deploys don't need someone watching them.
• 🛡️ Wired for SRE: SLOs, error budgets, and traces/metrics from day one (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana). When something breaks, I'd rather have the data in front of me than be guessing.
• 🧠 The fundamentals are what I enjoy — concurrency, scheduling, distributed systems. Lately that means building the infrastructure around AI: integrating vector search, load-testing it, and orchestrating the jobs that feed it.
• ☁️ Years deep in AWS and GCP: multi-account/multi-project setups, networking, and knowing which one to reach for and why. All of it as code with Terraform and Pulumi — reproducible environments, no snowflakes.
• 📐 The architecting is half the fun: drawing the boundaries, deciding what runs where, and calling managed-vs-self-hosted before it turns into someone's 3am page.
• 🦫 Go and Rust for most of it — controllers, operators, CLIs, the glue between clusters and APIs. Bash when that's honestly the right call.
• 👯 Always up to hack on Go / Rust, Kubernetes, and AI-infra open source.
