Kubernetes is the way to run your workloads in a container, and the public cloud is the place to do that. However, getting such an environment up and running requires a lot of work and knowledge. Therefore I built Omnikube, an infrastructure-as-code product that provisions an application environment in your cloud environment from scratch, so you can immediately deploy your application on your environment while keeping full control by controlling the infrastructure as code.

For Braver Health (Canada), I designed and built a highly available, secure GKE-based infrastructure to build, test, deploy, and host their platform, heavily relying on Istio for a microservice-based application. The project included an entire DevOps environment with CI/CD, GitOps, infrastructure-as-code, and monitoring.

High availability, data location, scalability, and security were the main focus areas for this project.

For ING Bank (NL), I was the lead architect and developer for a platform that scrapes, analyzes, and enriches public news articles (millions per day). This allowed ING's credit risk department to monitor their client portfolio more efficiently and respond to events quicker. This platform is horizontally scalable and runs on the Google Cloud Platform. It makes active use of Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and other GCP services. I presented this platform at Google Next San Francisco 2018.

For PwC's Experience Centers in Europe, I built a CI/CD platform and scalable multi-cloud, multi-region Kubernetes hosting environments, allowing them to quickly build and run prototypes for their clients. It is actively being used by 250+ developers and is still in development.

I helped Tracedock build their infrastructure on AWS with Kubernetes (Kops). The infrastructure processes billions of data points during the day, so it needed to be scalable to handle the load and to be cost-efficient. I also rewrote a resource-consuming part of their processing software in Go, which made it far more efficient.

For Ubiqu, I built an extremely secure, highly available, multi-cloud Kubernetes environment (two clouds, 100+ nodes) to host their infrastructure. Next to that, I built a complete CI/CD system based on GitLab CI and Kubernetes (for 30 applications).

For B&S (€1.5 billion revenue) and its subsidiary Royal Capi-Lux, I built a globally used (35+ locations) platform that connects with Microsoft Dynamics AX to retrieve product information and allow employees to generate and print price cards for their stores.
