Bridging IT Strategy & Implementation with a Human Touch
Hi, I’m Dries, a passionate advocate for IT strategy, DevOps, and platform engineering. My mission is to help organizations navigate the ever-evolving technology landscape by aligning strategy with execution—creating environments where engineers thrive, innovation flourishes, and businesses evolve.
I believe that technology is only as effective as the culture that supports it. That’s why my approach goes beyond tooling and frameworks—I focus on helping teams embrace change, work efficiently, and build sustainable IT practices.
My Approach
I specialize in combining proven methodologies and strategic thinking to help organizations make sense of complexity and turn vision into reality. Some of the key frameworks I use include:
- Team Topologies – Structuring teams for flow and high performance.
- Wardley Mapping – Gaining clarity on IT landscapes and strategic direction.
- Value Stream Mapping – Identifying bottlenecks and optimizing workflows.
Beyond strategy, I focus on building a culture where engineers feel safe to experiment, learn, and excel—because a thriving team is the foundation of every successful IT organization.
