Professional with extensive experience in complex application environments, active across the maritime, finance and pension sectors. My work centres on technical application and systems management, with a specialisation in payment processing and financial applications. I maintain good working relationships with vendors and external data providers, and take a proactive approach to every assignment — always making sure things are properly finished and well documented. Currently working at PGGM as a DevOps Engineer, with the strategic goal of fully eliminating all on-premise infrastructure and migrating workloads to the cloud.
Managing complex application landscapes in regulated environments. Taking ownership of systems — including during handovers without formal transition — and ensuring continuity through solid documentation and stakeholder alignment.
Planning and executing on-premise to Azure migrations, including server domain migrations (450+ servers), ERP implementations on Azure, and database migrations from Oracle to SQL. Focus on minimal disruption to business operations.
Hands-on experience managing SWIFT Alliance, TRAX, treasury management systems and dealing room platforms. Coordinating with data vendors such as Reuters and Bloomberg, and running annual BCP and disaster recovery exercises.
Built up over a long career across finance, maritime and IT services — a working knowledge of the tools that keep complex application landscapes running.
A few things that keep me busy away from the keyboard.
Available for technical application management and Azure cloud migration assignments, primarily in the financial sector. Based in Rotterdam, open to assignments across the Netherlands.
