About Me
Cloud Engineer | European Cloud Expert
I'm Antoine Tielbeke, a Cloud Engineer at Team Rockstars IT specializing in AWS, Kubernetes, and European cloud infrastructure. I also serve as a volunteer Solutions Architect for Volt Europa, helping build secure, scalable infrastructure for a pan-European political movement.
With expertise in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and FinOps, I'm passionate about European data sovereignty and digital autonomy. I've co-authored a whitepaper on digital sovereignty, analyzing the risks of the CLOUD Act and Dutch dependency on American hyperscalers (80% of our infrastructure), while presenting practical strategies for leveraging European cloud alternatives like Scaleway, GAIA-X, and IPCEI-CIS.
