Dennis Derks — Custom Integration Expert

Complex IT, made to run itself.

I build the automation and integrations that turn manual, messy IT into systems that just work — and the software products to run them.

What I do

Five things I'm really good at

Kubernetes

Container platforms & Tanzu — from cluster design to day-2 operations.

Cloud

Private & hybrid cloud on VMware, VCF and vSphere — built to scale.

Automation

vRA/vRO, PowerShell & Python workflows that turn manual IT into code.

API Integrations

REST/OAuth integrations that make disconnected systems talk to each other.

Modern Apps

Web & mobile products — designed, built and shipped end-to-end.

Proven track record

10 years at VMware, automating cloud for the world's most demanding enterprises.

A decade turning complex, manual IT into automation that just runs — for banks, government and global tech. That hard-won experience now goes straight into your project.
