The story

Dennis Derks is a freelance Custom Integration Expert for Cloud & Modern Apps. After 10 years as a senior consultant for VMware throughout NEMEA, he decided it was time to start a new chapter as a freelance consultant.

In those years he worked for many enterprises and global companies — including ING, KPN, the Dutch Ministry of Defense, Telia Sonera, Rabobank, ABN AMRO, Nordea Bank, the European Commission, Credit Suisse and ASML.

His technical experience covers the design, development and implementation of cloud solutions built on VMware technology — vRealize Automation, vRealize Orchestrator, NSX-T, vSphere and Tanzu (Kubernetes). He automates with JavaScript, PowerShell, Python and REST API to build complex workflows and scripts.
