Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWim Fournier is an Infrastructure Engineering Architect with 11+ years of hands-on experience modernizing large-scale platforms and building self-service, modular infrastructure. He designed and implemented an EKS-based PaaS at Marktplaats and has led migrations from bare metal through Nomad/OpenStack to GCP, introducing service meshes, observability and automation along the way. A pragmatic polyglot engineer who prefers off-the-shelf solutions but isn't afraid to build tailored tools, he programs primarily in Go and Python and contributes to notable open-source projects like hashicorp-ui and the go-gitlab SDK. Wim pairs systems-level thinking with a maker’s curiosity—building full-stack home automation and radio amateur projects—and brings real on-call battle-tested experience across Cassandra, CRDB, Kafka, Prometheus/Thanos, Vault/Consul and more. He mentors teams to operate independently, favors simple, replaceable components to limit tech debt, and drives change through POCs, RFCs and hands-on implementation.
