I fix engineering bottlenecks that cost companies money. Platform architecture, CI/CD, DevEx, AI enablement — I find where your engineering org is leaking velocity and plug the gap.

How I Work
I embed with your engineering leadership. I diagnose, design, and execute — not just advise. I've led platform migrations, built CI/CD from scratch, restructured monorepos, and coached teams through high-stakes transitions.
MSc in Information Sciences (University of Amsterdam). AWS ML certified. 10+ years operating at principal engineer and engineering lead level across enterprise organizations including Philips, AkzoNobel, and SVB.
Best Fit
Engineering orgs with 20–200+ developers who are hitting scaling walls.
CTOs and VPs of Engineering who know their platform is a bottleneck but need someone who can both diagnose and execute.
Teams transitioning to microfrontends, monorepos, or AI-augmented workflows — and need someone who's done it before.
Serious inquiry? Let's talk.
I don't do spec work. If you have a real problem and a real timeline, I'm happy to have a focused conversation.
