Mark Bastiaans is a mission-critical engineer and versatile technology leader with 11 years of experience building and operating resilient cloud platforms, developer tooling, and streaming systems across scale-sensitive environments. He blends hands-on software and systems engineering with technical product and project management—moving teams from monoliths to microservices, improving CI/CD and observability, and driving cloud migrations and cost optimisations. His background spans consultancy, R&D and leadership roles at organisations like Schuberg Philis, Mendix, Coolblue and TNO, where he introduced container ecosystems, standardised reliability practices, and runtime tooling used by hundreds of developers. Comfortable both as an individual contributor and as a technical coach, he focuses on pragmatic architecture and measurable operational improvement. A tinkerer since his teens, he pairs an engineer’s curiosity with management skills to inspire teams and challenge the status quo.
