Make your data valuable for your company. Working with Splunk since early 2013 and later on with Elastic and Prometheus I discovered we throw away a lot of realtime data, are not aware of hidden data, and do not use known data in our advantage. By simply using and combining this data it's easy to increase uptime of business applications, deliver chain insight, detect security issues and really get to know your applications. Think big, start small. I know how to evolve from a small setup/scope and gradually grow to an enterprise solution by giving advice and support to architects, implement the needed cloud/hybrid/on-premise high demanding environments, setup and maintain a product both technical and functional, teach people, coach people, involve people and get a product adopted within a company and make this all a team effort.Automate, automate, automate. Next to Big Data and Cloud I am convinced that automation and GitOPS with a CI/CD solution for both software and infrastructure compoments solves operational and security issues reducing downtime and risks and generate more business value. It delivers a part of necessary documentation by nature, speeds up onboarding of new team members, builds consistent environments, makes incremental changes auditable and enables very short living environments for testing purposes. Containerization contributes to this mechanism to create repeatable, secure and high available solutions.I like to be challenged to make flexible, secure and solid solutions targeted on a positive business results. Realising a tailored but flexible solution, by understanding and listening to the customer, is one of my most important goals.Technical specialties: Kubernetes, Docker, Elasticsearch, Prometheus, Gitlab CI/CD, Jira, BitBucket, Confluence, Bamboo, Splunk, AWS, Ansible, Terraform, Linux, WebSphere Application Server, directory servers, Oracle database, DB2, Postgress, Mysql, AIX, Apache httpd, Chef, Joomla, HTML and CSS.Personal specialties: Coaching, training, analysing, troubleshooting, thinking in solutions and getting IT done.
