Pim Derneden is a co-founder and cloud engineer with 12+ years of hands-on experience designing and operating Kubernetes-based Internal Developer Platforms for European companies. At Aknostic he uniquely combines client-facing account leadership with day-to-day infrastructure engineering, ensuring no handoff between sales and execution. His career path—from social sciences and trend research to digital marketing and IoT co-founding—gives him rare fluency in both business strategy and technical implementation. He favors open-source tooling (GitLab CI, Backstage, Grafana) to help organizations own their infrastructure without vendor lock-in, and has been running production clusters since before “cloud native” was a phrase. Based in Utrecht, Pim thrives on small, expert teams that build and operate critical platforms 24x7 across Europe. An understated strength: his background in trend interpretation helps him translate emerging tech into pragmatic platform decisions.
