The person behind the perspective
An architect.
A technology enthusiast.
A human first.
I’m Christiaan Dorfling. I care about how technology is delivered, how it is consumed and how it changes the way people work.
My interests span IT infrastructure, platforms, software delivery and digital transformation. Digitize for You brings together that enthusiasm for technology, a consultancy focus and a space for future writing.
A father, husband and technology ambassador — with a practical interest in connecting technology decisions to a clear purpose.
