Summary
Edwin Van De Ven is a Platform Engineer with eight years of professional experience building and operating cloud-native platforms using Kubernetes, Docker and GitOps tooling like ArgoCD. He has a strong observability and automation focus—implementing Prometheus/Grafana monitoring and infrastructure-as-code across Azure and Red Hat/SLES/Ubuntu environments. His background spans consultancy and in-house roles at EUROCONTROL, Maastricht University and Axual, where he blended architecture, Linux systems and CI/CD to deliver resilient production systems. Comfortable across languages and stacks (Python/Django, JavaScript/React, PHP, GraphQL, MySQL), he pairs developer-facing platform work with hands-on ops. Based in Limburg, Netherlands, he often moves between freelance and organizational roles, bringing a pragmatic, security-minded approach to platform reliability and developer experience.
