Omschrijving

Digital transformation is not a technology problem — it’s an organisational and architectural one. With 25+ years in IT, I help companies modernise legacy systems, design scalable software architectures, and adopt cloud computing and AI solutions.

Most recently, I led the transformation of a legacy, document-centric business into a cloud-native digital platform — implementing AWS infrastructure (ECS, Lambda, serverless), CI/CD pipelines (DevOps), and AI-powered document processing (LLMs, RAG, NLP). I combine hands-on software architecture, technical leadership, and team coaching to deliver sustainable transformation.

I specialise in:

– Cloud architecture & AWS migration (ECS, Lambda, serverless, microservices)

– AI engineering & LLM integration (OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, RAG, NLP, GenAI)

– Software architecture & system design (distributed systems, APIs, integration)

– DevOps & CI/CD (automation, infrastructure as code, cloud operations)

– Technical leadership & agile coaching (team scaling, engineering culture)

– Digital transformation & IT strategy

I engage as a senior architect, hands-on technical leader and or transformation advisor — depending on what the mission requires. Trilingual (French, English, Dutch).
