Multiple Kubernetes/RKE2 clusters and the platform underneath them.
Lead IT, Strategy & Innovation.
In the role I work across platform, self-hosted AI, data and BI, internal tooling, experiments, adoption, and team cadence, and on the choices that make all of that workable in practice. Alongside that, I still build and run core systems myself.
I joined Oegema in September 2023 to work on Kubernetes and DevOps. In September 2025 the role broadened into Lead IT, Strategy & Innovation.
Default is self-hosted, on-prem, and in-house. External platforms only stay in the stack where they clearly add something.
The work spans multiple environments and teams, and the kind of platform, tooling, and adoption choices that have to hold up in daily operations.
What I do.
In my current role I work across platform, data and BI, self-hosted AI, experiments, adoption, and the guardrails that keep daily use workable.
The move from a proprietary virtualisation and storage stack to open-source Proxmox + Ceph.
Trino, Metabase, and multi-node PostgreSQL with a delayed replica as shared building blocks.
Self-hosted, on-prem, and in-house by default; external platforms only where they clearly add value.
Self-hosted AI services, assistants, and connected internal tooling.
Practical automations and selective ML and computer-vision work where it helps operations.
Retrospectives across IT and a workable agile rhythm for the development teams.
Bringing tooling into daily use with scoped access, operational follow-through, and sensible boundaries.
Current role and recent work.
Oegema is the anchor role. The other pages show earlier infrastructure work, campaign execution, and smaller community stewardship around a platform.
Platform, self-hosted AI, and what lands at Oegema.
The fuller page shows how the work runs in practice: platform engineering, self-hosted AI, data and BI, and what has already landed in daily use.
Glasvezel De Wolden
I led communications, tooling, and early infrastructure decisions for a citizen-led fibre initiative that later won European recognition.
Local campaign platform
I led the digital platform and execution rhythm around a local campaign: planning, publishing, assistant tooling, media production, and public rollout under time pressure.
Het Hooge Woord
I host the evenings and steward the platform around them: brand, site, tone, bylines, photography, and the technical upkeep underneath.

Send me a message if you want to exchange thoughts about platform work, self-hosted AI, data and BI, or how technology choices land in practice.
