Jeroen Verkerk
@jeroenverkerk
I build and automate secure, scalable cloud infrastructure and SaaS operations.
What I'm looking for
I'm a Sr. Staff SRE at Netskope, following senior DevOps/SecOps roles at Dasera, Retrace, and Budderfly. I turn business needs into functional IT solutions with a get-it-done attitude.
At NV5 Geospatial, I re-architected products for AWS and Azure, introduced Docker and Kubernetes through Rancher, and built an Azure portal for GPU-based ML training clusters. I also migrated on-premises HTCondor processing to autoscaling AWS/Azure clusters and built ELK-based central logging with SIEM capabilities for SOC2 compliance.
At All Traffic Solutions, I moved infrastructure from third-party-managed AWS to company-managed AWS, designed cloud infrastructure for ATS NG, and automated deployments with Terraform and Chef. I partnered with Engineering and QA on CI/CD, environment consolidation, and Docker and Kubernetes adoption.
Across SaaS, cloud architecture, systems engineering, and IT leadership roles, I've automated AWS infrastructure, built monitoring with tools including Grafana, and supported Windows/Linux environments, data platforms, and large-scale infrastructure transitions.
