About Me

I love traveling and connecting with people from different cultures and backgrounds. So far I’ve visited Austria, Germany, Luxembourg, Portugal, Italy, Croatia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and the Netherlands — and the list keeps growing.

Give me a few basic instructions and I’ll find my way. I’m self-directed, comfortable with ambiguity, and happiest when the goal is clear and the path is mine to figure out. Point me at a challenge—I’ll get us there.

Next Bucket List (30–40)

• Explore 10 new countries and a few hidden gems closer to home
• Get comfortable in Dutch (B2+), and use it daily
• Tackle a multi-day cycling tour and a kayak trip somewhere wild
• Ship a meaningful side project/product that helps people
• Hike a long-distance trail I’ve never tried before
• Share what I learn: talks, blogs, mentoring
• Go deeper on cloud architecture with real projects (and maybe a cert if it adds value)

I enjoy meeting new people and learning how they live and work. If you’ve got travel recommendations, I’m all ears.

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me outside: cycling 100 km (when the Dutch weather cooperates!), kayaking, playing padel, hiking, or at the gym. I’m pretty energetic and I thrive in dynamic, fast-moving teams.

I keep my skills sharp with Dometrain, Pluralsight, and Udemy. Right now I’m taking Dutch classes and digging deeper into cloud architecture.

My soundtrack ranges from Hans Zimmer’s instrumentals to electronic/house — depends on the task and the mood. I try to stay creative, think outside the box, and bring that mindset to everything I do.
