I am a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) and Test Automation Architect based in the Netherlands, helping organizations build reliable, scalable software in complex cloud environments.

With a strong background in software development, I design and implement test automation frameworks for microservices, APIs, and modern web applications. My contribution goes beyond automation alone. I analyze business logic at code level, challenge assumptions, and validate system behavior from both a technical and functional perspective.

I add value across the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), from early requirement analysis and architectural discussions to CI/CD integration, performance validation, and production readiness. By combining development expertise with strategic quality engineering, I help teams detect risks early, strengthen system design, and ensure business requirements will serve the needs of the end user.

I specialize in:

  • Cloud-native and distributed systems
  • API and integration testing
  • Performance and reliability engineering
  • Automation architecture for CI/CD

As a freelance quality engineering consultant, I focus on creating sustainable solutions that improve feedback cycles, reduce production risk, and enable confident continuous delivery.

Worked together at Shell

I have worked with Wouter for the last two years and have been continually impressed with his contributions to the team and our projects. He quickly learns both the domain and the tech stack, regardless of prior experience. He's is comfortable taking ownership and being fully accountable for his own deliverables, as well as contributing on a wider project level. I've always respected his willingness to challenge decisions he doesn't agree with, which fosters healthy discussions and often leads to better outcomes. Furthermore, I have enjoyed working with him and his famously dry sense of humor!

Worked together at VECOZO

Wouter and I worked on several projects for VECOZO software products. I enjoyed working together with Wouter and really liked his sense of humor, his speed in mastering skills and his way of providing balance to a team setup. On top of that he delivers solid work of good quality and on time. He would be a great addition to any software development team!
