As a Fast Flow consultant, Team Topologies Valued Practicioner and experienced technology leader, Thomas helps organizations optimize their software delivery processes by focusing on the human elements as much as the technical ones. Thomas' approach is rooted in understanding that modern technology challenges are inherently socio-technical – they require solutions that consider both systems and the people who build and use them.

Drawing from his background as a platform engineer and technical lead, he brings hands-on experience in DevOps practices, Platform Engineering, and Team Topologies. He's particularly passionate about helping organizations optimize for fast flow and building platforms that lower cognitive load rather than act as a constraint. This perspective has been shaped by years of working at the intersection of technology, process, and people at anything between startups and global scale enterprises.

As a community builder, he has played an active role in growing the DevOps movement across the Netherlands, serving as a community organizer for devopsdays Amsterdam and the devops Amsterdam meetup group. He is now also starting a new grass roots community around Fast Flow through both conferences and the Fast Flow NL meetup group.

His work combines strategic thinking with practical implementation, focusing on areas such as Platform Engineering, Product Thinking, and organizational design. He helps teams and organizations navigate the complexity of modern software delivery while keeping the human element at the center of technical solutions.
