AI-Assisted Software Delivery & Agentic AI
Thirty years in software delivery, the last eleven with machine learning and artificial intelligence. Applied ML in production from 2015, co-creator of nWave, a deterministic agentic-AI delivery framework currently in pilot at NS, the Netherlands Railway. Experience working with AI applied to software development from 2019, including early tools such as Tabnine, Sourcery and Kite.
Machine Learning Operations (MLOps)
Technical authority on MLOps practice at IBM, working across IBM's AI and MLOps teams and coaching the managers who ran those teams. Extensive hands-on experience applying ML in production environments since 2015.
DevOps, DevSecOps & Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)
Global DevOps Lead at IBM, taking more than 250 teams in IBM's CIO organisation to High or Elite performance on the DORA model. Delivered full IaC infrastructure, DevSecOps security posture, and SRE monitoring and observability layers for multiple client engagements. Built Internal Development Platforms on AWS using Terraform, Terragrunt and Pulumi.
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi)
Delivery of complete IaC infrastructure for multiple clients, including migration from Terraform and Terragrunt to Pulumi, and building developer portals with Backstage that reduced onboarding from five days to two hours.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) & Azure
Hands-on experience driving AWS microservices and serverless adoption at NS Netherlands Railway, building Internal Development Platforms on AWS at ZF Transics, and delivering Azure infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines for DukkanTek.
Kubernetes & Cloud Migration
Migrated KTM's content management system to Kubernetes across AWS and Azure, with GitOps through Adobe Experience Manager.
Extreme Programming (XP), TDD & BDD
Creator of the SW Craftsmanship Dojo, a behaviour-engineered learning programme with between 20,000 and 25,000 learners. Created and ran the XPFarm dojo formula, fusing XP and DevOps technique with behavioural psychology and neuroscience, reaching more than 6,000 developers.
Behavioural Engineering & OKR Governance
Creator of Unicorns Ecosystem, an organisation operating system with a predictive model, and BOKaRy, a behavioural-OKR governance tool built for boards. Launched the OKR programme with the IBM CIO using DORA to gauge CIO performance.
Java & Microservices Architecture
Redesigned a 35-year-old mainframe CIO Contract Handler System into a microservices architecture integrating with Aptus and enterprise resource planning systems, and conceived and built the Common CI/CD platform with service discovery.
Lean UX & User-Centred Design
Delivered an intelligent transportation system from scratch in under six months at Movalia, built on Lean UX and user-centred design principles, covering cloud navigation and routing for buses and trucks.

Project history
Co-created nWave, a human-centred deterministic agentic-AI delivery framework, and directs the fleet of AI agents that run delivery on it, currently in pilot at NS, the Netherlands Railway. Built the SW Craftsmanship Dojo from research begun in a Formula 1 environment, with between 20,000 and 25,000 learners. Created Unicorns Ecosystem, an organisation operating system with a predictive model, and BOKaRy, behavioural-OKR governance built for boards. Engaged by engineering teams as their AI software engineering coach. Client engagements include NS Netherlands Railway (2020-present), ZF Transics Belgium (2022-2023), KTM Austria (2021-2022), Frost (2021), and DukkanTek (2022).
Worked with AI applied to software development from 2019. Worked across IBM's AI and MLOps teams, holding technical authority on MLOps practice and coaching managers. Created and ran the XPFarm dojo formula, reaching more than 6,000 developers and winning the IBM TechCon Award. Took more than 250 teams in IBM's CIO organisation to High or Elite performance. Launched the OKR programme with the IBM CIO using DORA, and received the IBM Coin for leading it. Redesigned the 35-year-old mainframe CIO Contract Handler System into a microservices architecture and built the Common CI/CD platform.
Began working with machine learning and AI on routing and passenger behaviour analysis. Delivered an intelligent transportation system from scratch in under six months, covering cloud navigation and routing for buses and trucks, built on Lean UX and user-centred design. Led a cross-functional team of developers, engineers and designers.
