Why hire Nic as a Kubernetes consultant?

Nic Wortel, Kubernetes consultant & expert

As a Kubernetes consultant, I don't work as an extension of your team to clock in hours. I have a different approach: I work toward a specific goal, and ensure to transfer knowledge to your team so they can move forward independently. Only when that is the case, our collaboration is successful.

  • More than 6 years experience with Kubernetes
  • Relevant certifications: Certified Kubernetes Application Developer
  • A collaboration focused on results, not on dependence
  • Personal commitment and direct communication

How does it work?

1

Discovery

During a free discovery meeting, you tell me what challenges you're facing. Together we determine whether and how I can help.
2

Tailored proposal

Based on our first conversation — and if needed, some additional research — I put together a proposal with a clear plan of action.
3

Execution

I support you during the execution of the plan. Not as an extra developer, but by thinking along, guiding and advising.
4

Evaluation & adjustment

We regularly take a step back to assess what's working and what isn't. We adapt the approach as the team grows and the situation evolves.
5

Completion

Every good collaboration has a natural ending point. My work is successful the moment you no longer need me.

On-site Kubernetes-consulting

For more complex issues a personal conversation is often more effective than an online video call. I am happy to come to your location for a half or full working day Kubernetes consult. Due to the central location of Amersfoort, I can easily reach most locations in the Netherlands including major cities such as Amsterdam and Utrecht. Upon request, consulting in surrounding countries (such as Belgium or Germany) is also possible. Request a quote to get a proposal for consulting at your location.

Frequently asked questions about Kubernetes consulting

A short one-hour online consultation costs €140 (excl. VAT). A half-day session of 4 hours costs €520 (excl. VAT). For longer engagements, ongoing collaboration, or on-site advice, I'm happy to send you a tailored proposal. Get in touch for a quote.

Absolutely! In the Netherlands there are laws which are meant to counter false self-employment, where someone is an independent contractor on paper but in reality is treated as an employee. The independence of a contractor is assessed by examining the nature of the work, whether there is a relationship of authority, and the degree of embedding in your organization. Due to my independent role and my specific expertise, it is highly unlikely that our collaboration will be considered as employment.

You can schedule an online consult directly in my calendar. For longer engagements we will discuss during our first introduction when I can start.

The duration of Kubernetes consulting ranges from an hour for a specific question to multiple months for an extended project. During our first introduction we will discuss your situation and estimate how long your project will take.

Absolutely, a meeting at your location is possible anywhere in the Netherlands. Get in touch to discuss the possibilities and to receive a custom quote.
