Summary

I am a very enthusiastic team player, happy to work together, but able to work independently as well. I love anything related to IT, with a strong tendency to go along with the current trend of Cloud Computing, focused on Azure, M365 and Intune. However, thanks to my decades of experience in IT, I have developed a strong flexibility as well to adapt as needed.


Having worked in internal as well as service provider environments I have experience across the entire spectrum of IT Professional Support and Engineering. This all-round experience makes me a very wise well-rounded senior IT person, being able to look at situations from different angles, which I know is not to be taken for granted.


I am confident enough to state I can be an asset in any environment and looking forward to a personal conversation so I can elaborate more on my background and, of course, I will be happy to learn more about you as well.

Chess (FIDE master)

Achieved the title of FIDE (Féderation Internationale des Échecs) master, a major milestone for any chess player.

Not only is this an achievement in its own right, but even more importantly, my chess endeavours have taught me valuable life skills,

like analytical thinking, patience, perseverance and strong psychological skills like coming back after a defeat, dealing with and learning from disappointment.
