What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, values collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a Senior Site Reliability Engineer and DevOps Engineer with over 11 years of experience in transforming cloud infrastructures for high-demand environments. My expertise lies in modernizing legacy systems and implementing scalable, secure architectures using AWS and Azure services. I have a proven ability to streamline deployment processes through innovative automation and continuous integration practices, significantly reducing errors and enhancing operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to maintaining exceptional system reliability, achieving 99.99% uptime in high-traffic scenarios. My recent role at Payconiq B.V involved modernizing a legacy cloud platform and ensuring it was equipped to handle peak traffic demands, such as during Black Friday, where the platform managed 50 million transactions at a peak rate of 300 TPS. I am passionate about leveraging advanced technologies to drive business success and improve user experiences.
