Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNiels Stevens is a Senior Platform SRE Manager based in Lanaken, Belgium, with 11 years of experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure and resilient distributed systems. At OneSignal he progressed from Senior SRE Engineer to Senior Platform SRE Manager, leading platform engineering efforts that scale high-throughput messaging services. He combines deep hands-on expertise in Golang, Ruby, Kubernetes, and Google Cloud with a practical SRE mindset—designing monitoring, CI/CD, and migration strategies that measurably improve latency and throughput. Previously he built performance-critical pipelines and payment migrations at Blendle and delivered end-to-end custom systems as a consultant, from desktop Golang clients to Kubernetes-deployed Rails apps. Colleagues would notice his strength in turning integration complexity (legacy ERP, FTP, hardware protocols) into automated, maintainable platforms. He pairs technical breadth with a pragmatic focus on observability and deployment reliability that keeps user-facing systems running smoothly.
