As an all-round engineer (Infrastructure Specialist, Azure Cloud Engineer, DevOps), I focus on the intersection of enterprise infrastructure and modern container orchestration. My current focus is on a crucial societal and technical transition: the shift from Big Tech to digital sovereignty.
At Centric, I am involved in managing and securing Azure resources for various parts of the Dutch government and municipalities. In addition, I actively build alternatives to reduce dependence on parties like Microsoft. By strategically combining the power of Nextcloud and Kubernetes, we ensure that vital data, files, and workflows remain completely under our own sovereign control within the EU.
