About Herman
Herman brings nearly 20 years of technical leadership and cloud architecture expertise to his role as Solutions Architect and Team Lead at EMA. He drives innovation on the MyEMS platform—Australia’s first employee relations case-management solution—transforming how organisations manage their most complex workplace challenges through cutting-edge technology.
His deep specialisation in Microsoft Azure and full-stack .NET development enables him to architect scalable, responsive solutions that evolve with business needs. Herman’s proven ability to migrate legacy systems to modern cloud infrastructures, combined with his expertise in microservices architecture and Azure Services, ensures EMA’s technology platform remains at the forefront of the industry.
What truly distinguishes Herman is his talent for bridging technical complexity with practical business outcomes. He mentors offshore development teams while coordinating seamlessly with onshore partners, cultivating collaboration that drives exceptional results. His hands-on leadership spans the complete development lifecycle—from architectural design and release planning to change management and agile delivery—making him instrumental in delivering technology solutions that create real impact for EMA’s clients across Australia.
When he’s not architecting the next generation of digital solutions, Herman can be found on the trails as an avid runner, serving as a guide runner for disabled athletes with the Achilles Group, or enjoying quality time camping with his two young sons.
