Hi! I’m Wessel.
I’m a Tech Lead Cloud & DevOps, endlessly curious about the future of software development. Ever since I was young, I’ve loved tinkering with computers, modding games, and creating applications that solve real problems. That childhood passion has evolved into my career, where I now help organizations build systems that are not just maintainable, but truly scalable and valuable.
While I specialize in .NET and Azure, I’m comfortable working anywhere in the stack—from cloud-native architecture to micro-frontends, with everything automated through modern CI/CD pipelines. What excites me most is shipping real value and seeing technology make a genuine impact.
Beyond the technical side, I’m fascinated by what makes engineering cultures thrive. I believe that software is only as good as the people who build it, and technology is simply a means to achieve bigger goals. That’s why I focus on empowering teams with the right tools, processes, and mindset to excel. Personal and technical growth go hand in hand, and I love helping colleagues develop both as engineers and as people.
You’ll find me right at home as the bridge between IT & Business: translating complex technical concepts into business value, and helping teams understand how their work drives organizational success.
What I Do
As a Tech Lead at Arcady, a Dutch IT consultancy based in Zwolle, I wear many hats: from architecting cloud-native solutions and mentoring development teams, to conducting technical consultations and exploring cutting-edge AI developments. We’re the guiding star for organizations navigating their digital transformation journey.
My day-to-day involves everything from hands-on development and architecture design to coaching colleagues and supporting technical sales. I particularly enjoy research projects and proof-of-concepts with emerging technologies—there’s nothing quite like exploring what’s possible with the latest tools and frameworks.
Speaking & Knowledge Sharing
I’m passionate about sharing knowledge and connecting with the developer community. You’ll find me speaking at tech events about cloud-native development, platform engineering, and the intersection of technology and business value.
