Building a Cloud Platform: Why Programming Languages Beat DSLs
Why programming languages beat DSLs for platform infrastructure
Hi, I'm Gerry
Building cloud platforms for diverse product teams
I help European companies figure out their cloud strategy and build platforms that actually work. Think data sovereignty, GDPR compliance, and secure by design.
For the past 5+ years, I've been helping organizations pick the right cloud for their needs. AWS, Azure, GCP, hybrid, multi-cloud... whatever fits your use case. I'm here to cut through the vendor marketing and focus on what works for your team.
📍 Based in Belgium • Hybrid (max 1 day/month on-site) or fully remote across Europe
What I Do
I prefer long-term partnerships over one-off projects. Here's what that looks like:
🎯
Cloud Strategy
Help you pick the right cloud platform. AWS, Azure, GCP, hybrid... whatever actually fits your use case. No vendor bias, just practical advice.
🏗️
Platform Architecture
Design cloud platforms that scale without falling apart. Whether you're starting fresh or migrating existing systems, security and compliance are baked in from the start.
🔒
Privacy & Compliance
Make sure your infrastructure meets GDPR requirements and European data sovereignty rules. Secure by design, not as an afterthought.
