Danny van der Kraan

Cloud-native Developer
First, solve the problem. Then, write the code.

Passion

Helping companies with their challenges on the cloud, ranging from technology (performance, scalability, etc.) to people (embracing a culture of automation, etc.).

Talent

Coming up with simple solutions to complex problems.

My source of inspiration / deep thinking

Books and articles concerning philosophical themes always make me think and reflect. For instance, The Myth of Sisyphus, a philosophical essay by Albert Camus.

This makes me happy

My wife and two sons. And untangling distributed monoliths. Nothing more satisfying!

The music genres that get me started

Progressive metal, like Tool or Karnivool. Or weird experimental jazz, like Naked City or Trioscapes. All I’m saying is, be prepared if you’d ever step into a car with me…
