## About

```text
At Wolters Kluwer / Regnology, I deliver fintech customer implementations on Azure and AWS and build CI/CD platforms for regulated financial services. My work includes an Internal Developer Platform for self-service infrastructure and Kubernetes migrations for 50+ applications using AKS/EKS, ArgoCD, Flux, and Helm.

I’ve improved delivery reliability and security with compliance-as-code, software supply-chain controls, and OpenTelemetry observability. Earlier, at Maistering B.V., I developed a Service Delivery Platform that cut deployment time from three days to one hour; across my career, I’ve also worked in banking, insurance, and software development.
