Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRik Tytgat is an experienced Infrastructure Engineer with over two decades working across Unix/Linux environments and 12 years focused on cloud and systems engineering, currently driving DevSecOps and AWS migrations at Sword Group. He earned his AWS Solutions Architect certification in 2018 and has spent the last four years shifting large, legacy on-premise estates into cloud-native architectures while prioritizing application integration teams’ needs. Rik's background spans major financial and telecom customers, deep expertise in HP-UX, Solaris, AIX and Red Hat, and hands-on projects from virtualization and DR design to monitoring and backup migrations. He combines strong operational discipline—automation, monitoring, and provisioning—with a pragmatic customer-first approach that keeps delivery timelines realistic. Owner of a long-running consultancy (Tryx bvba), he brings both independent contractor agility and corporate-scale engineering experience. An understated strength is his history of introducing emerging tools (CI, KVM, Bacula, Nagios) into conservative environments to improve reliability and developer workflows.
