Speakers:
- Kees Verhaar | Principal Engineer at Wigo4it
With over 15 years orchestrating complex technical transformations, Kees brings the rare combination of architectural vision and hands-on implementation that defines modern engineering leadership. "I've always believed modernization is more about unlocking team-potential than replacing systems," says Kees, who recently led Wigo4it's successful migration of their Socrates application to Azure. - Dominique van der Vorle | DevOps Engineer at Wigo4it
Dominique guided our organization through its cloud-first transformation. With deep expertise in both development and Azure infrastructure, Dominique brings practical insights from successfully modernizing mission-critical systems that proved invaluable when rearchitecting the batch processes powering critical social security payments.
