Summary
Bastiaan Van Haastrecht is a Cloud Architect with nearly two decades of IT experience and a decade focused on cloud and virtualization architecture, designing and running medium-to-large scale private and hybrid clouds. He blends hands-on engineering with strategic responsibility—architecting Dustin’s private cloud and acting as technical owner for a Veeam Backup as a Service offering while remaining deeply involved in implementation and troubleshooting. His expertise spans Hyper-V and VMware, HPE and Dell EMC converged systems, storage and backup deduplication platforms, and a strong public-cloud focus on Microsoft Azure. Equally comfortable in IT and OT, he builds backend and automation layers for autonomous marine systems, integrating PLCs, ArduPilot, Victron energy systems and microcontrollers using open-source stacks. Automation and scripting (PowerShell, Node.js/JavaScript) are core strengths that he uses to make architectures operationally realistic and resilient. Based in the Randstad, he pairs operator-level practicality with architectural rigor, often translating complex vendor ecosystems into transparent, service-aligned solutions.
