The Randstad, Netherlands
I will work for (big) money, until AI takes over or until I'm early retired (whichever comes first) 🫡 Specialties: Figuring out things, breaking things, finding issues in things, making said things better, document those things, looping the above until I get bored. Things are: open source, k8s, software products, infrastructure, security, sales/marketing/devrel/community processes and revenue engineering.
I (technically) sell Copilot. But also Actions, Advanced Security and GitHub as a platform. Sometimes I get to do some not-so-visible open source work, report gaps and bugs, find security vulnerabilities and even mop the floors when needed. Golden handcuffs and diamond hands (the stock price will eventually be better #believe)
I do stuff engineering, for a hefty fee. Sometimes as a side gig, sometimes as a full time thing. I pay a ton of taxes, ugh.
An attempt to make the Dutch Cloud Native community a place where everyone could thrive. Lack of integrity of most members made it impossible and I quit. It's the apex of why I don't organize or participate to Dutch community events anymore.
I did my part to increase the efficiency of diagnosis in breast cancer. Mostly infra work on Azure for training, deploying and running AI models on GPUs both in the cloud and bare metal.
I co-founded my (first) bootstrapped startup, raising a pre-seed of xxxk and something, with a xxk ARR. I was clearly not the money guy. I was the purely tech, sales, devrel? and "convince investors that the idea is technically groundbreaking" guy. I wrote most of the code.
