Have been the trusted advisor for customers at Lemongrass and AWS AMS
I’m Passionate about working in IT always exploring new technologies and enjoy the challenge of learning new technologies. whilst putting the customer first.
IT Professional with a passion for AWS Cloud solutions, I bring a wealth of experience from my current role at Capgemini in the Netherlands and my previous positions as a Cloud Architect at Amazon and Cloud Infrastructure Architect at Lemongrasscloud. Throughout my career, I've specialised in AWS Cloud Infrastructure, AWS Networking, and cloud migration strategies, successfully leading cloud transformation projects for large enterprise clients across multiple countries.
My expertise extends beyond AWS, encompassing a comprehensive understanding of broader IT environments, including proficiency with tools like identity, IAC, Security, networking, datacenter virtualisation and os management and automation. This diverse skill set allows me to bridge the gap between traditional infrastructure and cutting-edge cloud solutions effectively.
My journey has equipped me with a unique blend of traditional infrastructure knowledge and cloud expertise, allowing me to bridge the gap between legacy systems and modern cloud environments.
In recent years, I've focused on AWS, where I've designed and implemented complex, secure architectures for major enterprises. I've successfully led numerous large-scale Datacenter to AWS CLoud migrations, turning challenging legacy setups into efficient, scalable cloud solutions.
What sets me apart is my ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear business benefits. Whether I'm optimising workloads on AWS, implementing multi-account strategies, or leveraging the latest in serverless and AI technologies, I always prioritise the customer, security, cost-efficiency, and operational excellence.
I'm not just a cloud architect; I'm a problem solver and a trusted advisor to my clients. My experience spans from hands-on system administration to high-level cloud strategy, enabling me to understand challenges at all levels and craft comprehensive solutions that drive real business transformation.
