About the author

Hans Blok

I was trained as a general economist in the 1990s. My interest goes beyond technology alone: I like to explore what IT means for organizations and society.

Over the past thirty years, I have experienced the IT profession from many different angles: COBOL, Oracle, DBA work, testing, and information analysis. Since 2010, I have worked as an IT architect, guiding organizations through transformations toward service-oriented IT landscapes.

The blogs on this site are short essays. You can read them in two minutes. They offer insight into what IT architecture looks like in practice.
