Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenny Cornelissen is a System Architect with two decades of IT experience and a proven track record of turning complex infrastructure challenges into pragmatic, business-aligned cloud platforms. He blends big-picture strategy with hands-on engineering—designing containerized datacenters, building CI/CD and PaaS solutions, and bootstrapping platform and reliability engineering teams across enterprises and scaleups. At Skyworkz and via consulting engagements he has led platform replatforms to Kubernetes, developed remote-first training for cloud technologies, and advised as interim CTO or tech lead to accelerate delivery and developer productivity. Benny is equally comfortable defining governance-as-code and service classification frameworks as he is shipping Terraform, ArgoCD, and observability implementations. Based in Gelderland, Netherlands, he pairs a systems mindset with empathy and coaching to empower teams to own resilient cloud services. Outside work he recovers creative and strategic energy by cycling long distances and playing guitar.
