The role of Cloud Engineer — In conversation with Jaap

Play poker during working hours

My day starts with a good cup of coffee followed by the daily stand-up. At RDW, we work according to the Agile-Scrum method with a sprint changeover day every three weeks filled with new challenges, looking back on the tasks and refinement. And yes; we also play poker. A game element that we apply to the Agile-Scrum method to stimulate behavioral change and motivation. Let our team lead the way right now. We love that. 😉

The business in control

If Cloud Engineer at TeamValue, I know a lot of things. From development in C# to managing Azure pipelines. But it goes further than that, because as a consultant, I am also expected to give my opinion solicited and unsolicited. Really helping the customer go one step further, driven along the value axis. That is what we actively focus on at TeamValue. Both internally and externally.

From TeamValue, we always send behavioral changes to the customer. After all, we believe that the business must be in control. The team at RWD has already got the hang of this quite well with the 'doing the right things' principle. Together with the Product Owner, we determine the value per sprint and dare to adjust it if necessary. After all, it's about delivering value, not about checking off your to-do list.

Accessible and no-nonsense

TeamValue is a warm, fanatical and no-nonsense organization. With a clear goal, in which the customer and employees are central. It is a club where I am challenged, both in the jobs I do and in my personal growth. You're not a number here, you're a valued member of the company. You are stimulated to grow, dare to make mistakes and learn from them. This results in a generic growth of the company and the energy that we transfer to the customer. It's not for nothing that we say: 'Stand out, be a flamingo'. So you have to have a bit of guts to come and work here.

From zero to Azure hero

When I started at TeamValue, I had almost no knowledge of Azure, CI/CD, etc. These skills have greatly improved in the two years that I have been working at TeamValue due to the various jobs I have been able to do. By now, I already have a large part of my certificates in my pocket! I am very happy with this development. On to even more growth!
