Hard problems, treated as software.
DevOps, infrastructure automation, and data integration.
BlaLabs is a small Dutch consultancy. I take on a few kinds of problem: infrastructure that’s gotten harder to change than it should be, data that’s stuck across too many internal systems to make any sense of, and software that the people who built it aren’t around to maintain any more.
What I help with
01
DevOps & infrastructure automation
Linux, Ansible, IaC, and the CI/CD around them. The DevOps practices that make changes to production safe, testable, and boring.
02
Data integration & insights
Getting data out of your monitoring, billing, provisioning, and ticketing systems and into one place where it's actually queryable.
03
Software & systems rescue
Diagnosing and fixing legacy software when the original developer is no longer around and the documentation doesn't exist. Reverse engineering when there's nothing else to go on.
04
Building automation
The same automation discipline applied to physical buildings. Sensors, controllers, and the glue that ties them to the rest of your stack.
