I’m a multi-talented, skilled, highly experienced IT expert with university degrees in both Chemistry and Computer Science. I was a part-time (sous) chef and certified sommelier trained at the Academy of Gastronomy in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. Most recently, I became an SCA-certified barista. I speak four languages fluently or very well.

  • I have 30 years experience in IT in numerous roles and industries. I’ve been an IT architect for over 15 years with AWS experience and have also sharpened my terraform skills so that I can design high-available, secure, scalable cloud-native platforms but also provide a day zero landing zone.
  • For 10+ years, I have also worked part-time in various high-volume beach clubs and restaurants in The Hague, the Netherlands.
  • As a barista, I have three years of experience in setting up and running a coffee place. I can train your staff, help you achieve a more consistent, better cup of coffee and teach them the basics of how to make Latte Art.

Tech Projects

I think out of the box by definition and determine what solutions align best with your problem. Then I choose the simplest one to solve the problem (KISS) and outline the impact as well as alternatives that I see.

I hired Christian for a project at Philips where we needed expertise in the field of (X)HTML, CSS, DOM, and ECMAscript, coupled with good communication skills to guide content authors in their work. He quickly became a valued member of our project, both professionally and personally. Christian is professional, skilled, communicates with ease about complex subjects, and is a nice guy 🙂
