About

Hi!

My name is Loek, I am CTO and Cloud Architect at Xebia (Microsoft Services Netherlands) and a Microsoft Azure MVP, helping companies modernize their IT all the way; Cloud strategy, DevOps practices, and Continuous Delivery. I spend most of my days helping teams by providing hands-on assistance, solving problems and delivering technical training.
A couple of times per year, I like to speak at international conferences or to provide workshops.
By being a consultant, international speaker, trainer, active contributor to open-source projects, and forum participant, I love to share knowledge with the community.

Some of my recent public speaking & workshop engagements:

• NDC & SDD (UK)
• Techorama & Experts Live (Netherlands)
• KCDC (USA)
• Update Conf & ESPC (Czech Republic)
• DevSum (Sweden)
• VISUG XL (Belgium)
• Developer Week (Germany)

Founder of the project ServiceFabric.ServiceBus, which is a library that enables your services to send and receive Azure Service Bus messages by taking away some of the complexity.

Sponsorship

Using your sponsorship funding, I can dedicate time to these projects during my workday. This enables me to maintain & modernize the packages, and implement new features.

Specifically, to add support for recent changes in reliable collections in the ServiceFabric.Mocks project.
