Is your company in need of a Chief-Technology-Officer? I could help you with the following areas.

• Technology Strategy: Providing assistance in defining and executing a strategy that enables your business to grow through technology.
• Team Guidance: Providing guidance and advice to optimize your internal technology team or assist in setting up a new team.

As a hands-on IT architect, I specialize in crafting solutions tailored to your unique challenges. Whether you're seeking scalable systems or swift market-fit solutions, I prioritize simplicity, elegance, pragmatism, and quality to ensure your needs are met. Some key areas I could assist with:

• Identity & Access Management: Having a very strong background in (Customer) Identity & Access Management, I can assist with designing / building your customer or employee IAM solution.
• Event driven architectures: Any distributed system can heavily benefit from a well designed event-driven (async) messaging solution. In the past I have built a fully serverless event-driven architecture solution that served many services and processed billions of events.
• Multi-tenant system design: The efficiency that multitenancy can bring you is very high. However, there are many challenges that you need to overcome when designing a multi-tenant system. Especially, when this system is a distributed system that consists of multiple (micro)services.
• (Micro)Services architecture design: Setting the right boundaries for your (micro)services is one of the most challenging things to do right. With the experience that I bring, I can assist in making the right choices from the start and prevent a lot of problems further down the line.

As a lead / principal engineer, I can bring your entire team to the next level. There are various areas where my experience can be of help

• Secure coding: Having a strong background in building a security product, I have a lot of experience in writing secure code.
• Correct implementation of encryption & signing algorithms:Choosing and implementing the right encryption / signing algorithms is often (unfortunately) not an easy task.
• Coaching peers: As an experienced professional, I guide and coach peers to enhance their skills and knowledge. This collaborative learning process can boost team productivity and lead to better software development outcomes.
• Choosing between generic or specific: Making the right choice between specific or generic is often a challenge. Going generic too early can come with a very high price, on the other hand doing it too late i also expensive. As I have seen an organization from start-up to scale-up, I know the different phases of a company and know when to go generic and when a specific solution is the better choice.
