I’m a multi-talented, skilled, highly experienced IT expert with university degrees in both Chemistry and Computer Science. I am 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.

Christian is one of those explorers that ventures on the frontiers of our digital world. He is spirited in creating his solutions for the business applications nobody thought of. Christian is a very pleasant person to be around with who has good leadership skills and a keen eye for opportunities. I enjoyed working with him at KPN Research and found him to be a fun person to be around with also outside of the working environment.
