I've been working in IT since 1999 and I'm currently working as Principal Software Architect and Microsoft Competence Center lead at Info Support in The Netherlands. I'm a Microsoft MVP in the Developer Technologies category. My primary areas of expertise are: building distributed systems, systems integration, (web-scale) software architecture and patterns, software craftsmanship, .NET (Core) development, Azure and devops. I like sharing my knowledge about these subjects by publishing videos and speaking on events.
