About me
Technology should make sense after the project ends.
I am an Azure Consultant who likes to bring structure to complicated environments. I look beyond the immediate technical request and connect architecture, security, operations and automation. The result should solve today's problem without becoming tomorrow's obstacle.
My work sits between design and delivery. I can move from a workshop or assessment into an HLD, LLD, test plan or working implementation. I value clear decisions, explicit assumptions and documentation that administrators can actually use.
Outside customer work, I keep exploring technology through my own Azure environment, Home Assistant, scripting and small build projects. That practical curiosity shapes how I advise organisations and how I test ideas before recommending them.
What I do
Architecture that remains practical.
I help organisations shape Microsoft cloud environments from first principles through implementation and validation.
Cloud networking
Practical hub-spoke and hybrid network designs with clear routing, DNS, firewall and private connectivity decisions.
Secure access
Certificate services, Entra ID, Intune and identity controls that improve access without creating operational friction.
Automation & IaC
Repeatable Azure deployments and operations with Bicep, PowerShell, GitHub and Azure DevOps pipelines.
Where I work
Azure Consultant at Rapid Circle
At Rapid Circle Netherlands, I work with organisations on Azure platforms, networking, identity, security and modern workplace challenges. Each customer environment asks for a different balance between ambition, risk, existing technology and operational maturity.
My role combines consultancy with technical depth. I translate requirements into architecture, challenge unclear assumptions and stay involved as designs become real environments. I also work closely with colleagues across disciplines, so decisions connect instead of becoming isolated technical solutions.
Selected work
Problems I help organisations solve.
Representative work areas, without exposing customer-specific information.
01
PLATFORM ENGINEERING
Azure platform foundations
Landing Zone architecture that connects identity, policy, governance, management and connectivity into one maintainable platform.
02
SECURE ACCESS
PKI & certificate services
Modern certificate lifecycles for users, devices and services, including AD CS, SCEPman, Intune and RADIUS-based access.
03
CONNECTIVITY
Hybrid cloud networking
Network designs and assessments that make routing, DNS, firewall paths and dependencies visible before implementation starts.
Technology
A Microsoft cloud toolkit, used with intent.
Tools matter when they support a clear architecture, reduce manual effort and make environments easier to operate.
