👋 Hello, I'm
Solving cloud problems in AWS and Azure by day, tackling boulder problems by night. I thrive on piecing together serverless systems and scaling infrastructure — and climbing my way to new heights, both in the cloud and on the rock wall.
01. About me
I'm a full-stack software engineer based in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, with over a decade of experience building and scaling cloud-native systems. My sweet spot is serverless and event-driven architecture on AWS and Azure — piecing together resilient, cost-efficient solutions that grow with the product.
I've shipped everything from real-time energy management platforms and consent pipelines to cross-platform mobile apps and component design systems. I care about developer experience, clean abstractions, and the humans on both sides of the software I ship.
When I'm not wiring up serverless functions, you'll find me tackling boulder problems at the climbing wall — chasing the same satisfaction of finding an elegant solution under constraints.
02. Experience
Essent — 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands
Leading the TypeScript backend capability alongside my engineering role, setting technical direction, defining standards, and growing engineering quality across squads. Driving the strategic shift toward event-driven, serverless-first architectures on AWS.
Essent — 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands
Joined Essent as an internal employee, working on smart energy asset steering: building serverless, event-driven products for Smart Charging (EVs), Home Battery management, and Solar curtailment — automatically balancing grid load, customer preferences, and energy pricing in real time. Since Jan 2025 also serving as Technical Capability Lead for the TypeScript backend chapter.
Team Rockstars IT — 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands
Placed at Essent to deliver two high-impact energy products: Energy Usage Insights — giving customers real-time and historical insight into their consumption — and a centralised Consent Management Platform ensuring GDPR-compliant data handling across all digital touchpoints.
Built a framework-agnostic component design system using StencilJS, adopted across multiple internal product teams. Set up automated release pipelines and Storybook documentation via Azure DevOps.
Designed and built a distributed logging system for one of the world's leading offshore pipeline contractors — running both on board their vessels and in the cloud. Bridged connectivity-constrained ship environments with Azure-hosted infrastructure for reliable, centralised operational logging across the fleet.
Index Hospitality Systems BV — Netherlands
4.5 years building Annoncer — a digital kitchen display system that fully replaces paper kitchen chits for restaurants and hotels. Built on .NET and Azure, enabling real-time order routing, kitchen workflow management, and seamless POS integrations.

A digital kitchen display system that fully replaces paper kitchen chits for restaurants and hotels. Built on .NET and Azure, Annoncer handles real-time order routing, kitchen workflow management, and seamless POS integrations — eliminating lost or unreadable tickets from the kitchen floor.
A suite of serverless, event-driven products at Essent that intelligently steer customer energy assets: Smart Charging for EVs, Home Battery management, and Solar curtailment — automatically balancing grid load, customer preferences, and energy pricing in real time.
A framework-agnostic component library and design token system built with StencilJS for Vanderlande, a global leader in automated logistics. Used across multiple internal product teams, with full Storybook documentation and Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines for automated releases.
A centralised platform at Essent managing customer data consent across all digital touchpoints. Ensures regulatory compliance (GDPR) while giving product teams a single source of truth for consent state through an event-driven API.
A customer-facing product at Essent providing real-time and historical insight into energy consumption patterns. Built on a serverless AWS backend with an Angular frontend, processing smart meter data to deliver personalised usage breakdowns.
Designed and built a distributed logging system for Allseas, a world-leading offshore pipeline contractor. The system runs both on board their offshore vessels and in the cloud — bridging connectivity-constrained ship environments with Azure-hosted infrastructure to provide reliable, centralised operational logging across the fleet.
