Building reliable systems and observable infrastructure. Passionate about Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana, and the open source ecosystem that keeps the internet running.
About
I'm Sven — a CTO and infrastructure engineer based in Almelo, Netherlands, currently leading technology at Shock Media. I care deeply about building resilient, observable systems at scale.
Fanatic user of open source projects and a strong believer in the SRE philosophy: reliability is a feature, not an afterthought. My toolbox revolves around Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Grafana.
I've spoken at events like the Bol.com Spaces summit and Elastic Netherlands User Group on topics ranging from Prometheus in production to building AI integrations with Python and Elastic ELSER.
