About
I'm a network and automation engineer with a passion for cybersecurity. In my work I combine knowledge of networking and automation with the drive to make organisations safer and more efficient.
It matters to me to build solutions that are not only scalable and future-proof, but also have a strong focus on security. Making technology work smarter and safer is what I work on every day.
My love for automation started between 2018 and 2021, when I worked as a software developer. Outside work I build my own products, from a challenge-planning platform to a net-worth dashboard.
