Summary
Rick Sollman is a seasoned Java DevOps engineer with 11+ years delivering cloud-native and legacy-to-cloud migrations for banks, public sector and startups across the Netherlands. He combines deep backend Java expertise (Spring, Hibernate, Camel/Mule) with hands-on DevOps skills—CI/CD, PCF/Azure/AWS, Jenkins, Docker—and a track record of leading complex HSM, identity and OTP replacements into production. As founder of code-IT and a repeat contributor at Rabobank, he excels at bridging development, QA and operations to get long-running projects across the finish line. He’s comfortable in both startup and enterprise contexts, having built FHIR interfaces and automated testing pipelines for healthcare and modernized large monoliths. Known as a pragmatic problem solver and informal technical lead, he often becomes the go-to person for migrations, cloud onboarding and secure authentication work. A background in electronic engineering underpins his systems-thinking approach to resilient, auditable software delivery.
