@willemveerman
I build resilient cloud platforms, Kubernetes estates, and secure CI/CD systems across AWS and GCP.
What I'm looking for
I've built and advised on resilient cloud platforms for Quantum Secret, British Airways, Hargreaves Lansdown, government agencies, and LaunchDarkly. My work centres on infrastructure as code, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and systems designed to recover automatically from failures.
At Quantum Secret, I'm using Terraform for a government AWS platform and designing high-threat cloud systems with threat-actor visibility, supply-chain assurance, vulnerability scanning, SBOM generation, attestation, and signing. I've also delivered reusable AWS deployment pipelines, GitLab CI and CodeBuild workflows, and cloud migration guidance.
I've led architecture decisions, mentored junior engineers, and trained teams in modern DevOps methods. Across AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, Python, Go, and GitOps tooling, I focus on practical platforms that teams can operate confidently.
