Jan Willem Koch

Freelance platform engineer based in Cologne. I build and operate Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters for teams that have outgrown the part where “it works on staging” was good enough.

Most days that means infrastructure-as-code in Ansible or Terraform, GitOps workflows, and the unglamorous monitoring work that prevents the 03:00 phone call. Some days it means deleting things.

Certified Kubernetes Administrator and Application Developer since 2021. Comfortable on premises, in private clouds, and on AWS, Azure or anywhere with a serial console.
