About

TEQcloud is one engineer. On purpose.

Not a startup waiting to scale. Not a one-person shop waiting to grow into an agency. A small business, kept small, so the work stays the work and the bill stays predictable.

Quinten de Haard

Philosophy

Small by design

Why "intentionally small" matters to you

No layer between you and the engineer

You will not be handed off to an account manager, then to a junior, then to someone in a different timezone. The person you email is the person who runs your cluster.

Focus over growth

We are not trying to become an MSP. The roadmap is depth in one thing, Kubernetes operations, not breadth across "cloud solutions".

Built for clarity, not for scale

Fixed pricing, simple contracts, written reports, no jargon when plain language works. You should always know what you are paying for and why.

The team

Just one

Quinten de Haard

Engineer, sole proprietor, the person doing the work. Sales, operations, support, all the same desk. Background in infrastructure and platform engineering. Based in the Netherlands, working remotely with clients the globe.

No-one else

No hidden subcontractors. No planned hires we can promise. When this page says "we", it means TEQcloud as a business, but the hands on the keyboard are Quinten's.

The lab

A rack at home, for staying sharp

Not a hosting product

The servers in this picture are a home lab, used for testing upgrade paths, breaking things on purpose, and rehearsing the work before it touches a production cluster. We do not sell hosting on them.

Where the certifications come from

New CNI, new operator, new storage class, it runs on the lab first. By the time it appears in a client cluster, it has already been installed, broken and recovered at least once at home.

Credentials

Certifications

Honest list. Achieved badges first, planned next. Updated when something changes.

AZ-900 — Azure Fundamentals

Microsoft. Achieved.

On the roadmap

Order is deliberate. Fundamentals first, then networking, then the Kubernetes track.

CCNA

Cisco Certified Network Associate. Planned summer 2026.

KCNA

Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate. Planned summer 2026.

CKA

Certified Kubernetes Administrator. Planned 2027.

Where we work: Registered in the Netherlands (KvK). Working remotely with clients across the globe, a kubeconfig and a VPN do not care where the engineer sits.

Sound like the kind of supplier you want?

The right clients tend to recognise themselves in the way we describe ourselves.
