Former pro footballer. Twelve years in enterprise IT. Six of those running my own company. Dubai is next.

Based in NL · Dubai from April 2026

Former pro footballer turned platform engineer. Twelve years keeping mission-critical systems running for large enterprise organizations. Financials, insurance, healthcare, government. Six of those years leading my own company. Now building AI solutions and taking it to Dubai.

Chapter 01
2006

Played professional football for seven years. Discipline, repetition, high-stakes performance. Those skills follow you everywhere.

Chapter 02
2013

Walked into IT with zero background. Learned by doing. Mostly by breaking things first. Within two years I was running infrastructure for thousands of users.

Chapter 03
Scale

Kept platforms running that could not go down. Banking, insurance, fraud detection for European banks. You learn fast when downtime costs millions.

Chapter 04
2019

Started Grebit B.V. and never looked back. Six years independent. Choosing the problems worth solving.

Chapter 05
Dubai

The next market to build in. Building AI solutions on top of solid infrastructure. I'm arriving in April. Coffee's on me.

What I fix

You have a problem.
I make it go away.

Platform chaos

Containers everywhere. Nobody knows what runs where. I bring structure to your clusters and make them boring again.

Manual everything

Still deploying by hand? Pipelines need babysitting? I automate until your team ships while sleeping.

Cloud migrations

Moving from bare metal to cloud without breaking production. Phased. Tested. Zero drama.

No observability

Can't see it? Can't fix it. I build monitoring that catches fires before anyone smells smoke.

Security theatre

Checkbox compliance that protects nothing. I build security into the infrastructure, not a spreadsheet.

Team bottlenecks

One person who knows everything. Everyone else waits. I fix the process so teams move independently.

I'm in Dubai in April.

Let's meet.

No pitch. No deck. Just coffee with someone who builds real things.
