Jordy Verberne

DevOps Cloud Engineer

I build and run infrastructure on Linux, Azure and Kubernetes. Most days that means Terraform, CI/CD pipelines and keeping clusters healthy, observable and secure for the teams that ship on them.

About

Linux is the common thread in my career. I started in system administration, troubleshooting production machines from the command line, and grew from there into cloud platforms and containerized workloads on Kubernetes.

As a consultant I have worked across several client environments: public cloud, on-premises and Kubernetes. I write and review infrastructure code every day, mostly Terraform and Kubernetes manifests, and I like working closely with developers so their path to production stays simple.
