Description

Platform & Solution Architect and Digital Transformation leader with a proven track record of bridging business strategy and technology across banking, insurance, telecom, healthcare, and semi-public sectors. Specialised in Business-IT Alignment and Enterprise Modernisation, translating complex organisational challenges into scalable, future-proof architectures.

What I Offer:

Full lifecycle platform and solution architecture, from initial concept through to delivery.
Vendor-agnostic by principle — I design around your problem, not around a preferred stack.
Cross-sector depth in banking, insurance, telecom and (semi-)public organisations.
Pragmatic legacy modernisation with staged, low-risk transition paths.
AI and integration architecture grounded in your existing landscape.
Business-IT alignment as a core discipline throughout every engagement.
Hands-on change management to bring people along, not just systems.

Why Work With Me?

Over 20 years of delivery across complex, regulated environments.
I work lean and stay accountable through implementation, not just the design phase.
I'm fluent in both the boardroom and the engineering room.
My track record shows what a small, focused team can achieve when the architecture is right.
Engaging through Pagoni BV means direct access, no intermediary overhead, and a flexible collaboration model.
I bring structure to complexity without adding process for its own sake.
