Today marks my 136th Day 1 at AWS (why is it always Day 1). 6 months just flew by and I thought I'd find some time to share what a ride it’s been. I also have a lot of friends and ex-colleagues who often ask me "what is it like to work at AWS", so... Continue Reading →
My journey into Cloud Networking
Disclaimer: opinions expressed in this blog are my own! I vividly remember the days of a very not far past when I was dealing with EVPN, Type-5 Routes, VXLAN encapsulation and all the things that were really en-vogue back then (I believe they still are), cherishing the numerous conversations I had about those with Ivan...

New tech era, new skills, new mindset.
It must have occurred to you as well, I'm sure. You start thinking: "what does it take to be successful in the Cloud era"? I ask myself that question pretty much every day, and I must confess I have not given myself a satisfying answer yet, simply because I don't think there is one. Nevertheless,... Continue Reading →
A Cloud-Native change!
As some of you may have noticed, after some time spent at Vodafone Group, I recently took a position at Fujitsu EMEIA as a Senior Cloud Native Engineer. Quite a few people asked to me "What the heck does Cloud-Native mean ?", so I decided to spend some time giving my own view on that... Continue Reading →

At some point during the evening they started to make fun of me because of this blog. "You keep talking about open-source networking, and this and that. Why don't you... Continue Reading →
Stop abusing the word “Open”
I woke up this morning to a nice blog post that appeared in my RSS reader. Finally! An Open Intent-Based Networking Platform Managed Service Providers Can Embrace Now, if you know me, whenever the word "Open" gets mentioned, I'm immediately captivated by it, so I tapped on the link and read it once. Then I... Continue Reading →
Interviewing the interviewer
It must definitely have occured to you (after you took a job somewhere) to have regretted not having done some more due diligence on the company you were about to go to. Recently, I had some discussion with friends and colleagues who asked my opinion on how you could actually understand if the employer is... Continue Reading →
White-boxes for everyone: my point of view.
This post is in reply of Gianpaolo's post "White Boxes for Everyone?" appeared on his blog last November and recently shared by Ivan Pepelnjak. First, let me state that I don't disagree with him nor with Ivan, but I also believe the matter is worth some more in-depth analysis. His thesis is that the whole... Continue Reading →
My first day at Tech Field Days Extra @ Cisco Live 2018
I've been thinking about what to write on my first day of attendance at TFDx. I had so much going on in my tiny and inadequate brain that it's really hard to put things on (digital) paper. I'll start saying that I'm thankful to the staff at GestaltIT for having had the opportunity of attending... Continue Reading →
