Platforms zoals Cerebro en Cloud Foundry leveren herbruikbare back‑end bouwblokken en secure pipelines die productiviteit, betrouwbaarheid en continuïteit op schaal ondersteunen.

Je brengt sterke organisatiesensitiviteit en stakeholdermanagementvaardigheden mee om Area Triangles over verschillende Tribes effectief te alignen en aan te sturen.
