A pragmatic realist born in 1986 (this makes me a Chernobyl baby) in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Got fascinated with computers at the early age of 6 at which I've changed my Super Nintento for a Commodore 64. After breaking my grandpa's digital calculator for years before that.

Here I've started basic programming and it wasn't long after this that i got my first "real computer" a IBM with a Intel 80386DX. From here we super-warped into Intel 166MHz, AMD 800MHz and after this I've lost track what my next step was since i then got laptops/notebooks instead believe a whopping 1.8GHz or 2GHz - can't recall it exactly anymore hence who cares. It's not about CPU power anymore for most of our chores.

I've saw pretty much every operating system from, I'm most comfortable on:

BSD (Open or Free)
or
Linux (Arch, Alpine, Debian or Ubuntu)

Worked as a system engineer was more fascinated by the networking side of life. So became a networking specialist: Cisco, Cumulus, Extreme, Huawei, Juniper, Nokia they all have no secrets for me and they all have bugs. I've been operating at Expert level within (Large) Enterprise & Service Provider networks for 15+ years (protocols like BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, MPLS (incl Segment-Routing), VPLS).

I was very interested in automation from the early days (on a commadore 64) writing in Basic my own games as a young male, these days I help people with their Automation.
