Working experience
| From-Till | Employer | Role | Experience |
| jun2008 – present | Snow B.V | SEnior Network Engineer, Security Engineer at KPN | At KPN I am doing a large project to migrate the central facilities of a dutch government department. The central facilities included migrating a standalone Juniper firewall to a redundant Fortigate cluster, and migrating a loaded Checkpoint environment to a new Juniper (SSG series) platform. The migrations itself went smoothly given the base that had been used it was a big success! I also helped out the operational team managing all devices by setting up a new monitoring system (NMIS) and using Rancid for various important devices to keep a version track of all configurations. On the social plate I am guiding my collegue’s and training them where needed on area’s that I could help with.
2009-present; The second big project that I am running at KPN involves moving of the physical of the government department. I am the main responsible person for this project from the admin team. Together with a Collegue we did the inventory, cleanup, buildup, administrative tasks, executing migrations, moving the hardware, arranging documentation, communications with the customer(s) etc. |
| feb2008 – jun2008 | Snow B.V | FreeBSD liason | In February, I started helping Ed Schouten with his study, Ed is a student temporary working at Snow B.V, writing an MultiProcessorSafe (MPSAFE) TTY layer for FreeBSD. I act as a liason between FreeBSD and Ed to make sure he can graduate. We both traveled to Canada to let Ed give a presentation for the FreeBSD development team. Ed finally graduated with a 9! |
| okt2006 – may2008 | Snow B.V | Unix Engineer, Network Engineer, Security Engineer at Financial Institute | At “Financial Institute” I am a member of the Security / Unix and Networking Team. It is my responsability to maintain various access routers and switches, core routers and switches, as well as key Unix systems and the Firewalls throughout Europe. I am also part of a team that is going to consolidate services and networks from Europe towards one central data Centre (Design phase). We are providing Network architecture, Firewall architecture and where possible Unix server Architecture. From June 2007 till Oct 2007 I trained a new team member with our main area’s of attention: Cisco, Checkpoint and Unix.
Starting from late 2007, I am also participating within a consolidation project (Architecture and technical implementation of the design), where I lead the implementations that needs to be done on the networking/unix/checkpoint side. I am responsible for implementing the entire Firewalling infrastructure (multiple clusters, internal security, exteriour security and vpn (remote users, remote site to site) security), both architectural as technical implementation and setup. Together with a Snow Collegue I am also building up the regular network within the new datacenter, implementing a common ground for the routers and switches, implementing tftp services, building up new management hosts with new monitoring tools; all as standarized and flexible as possible. Both my Collegue and I are also very active with communication migrations for the connected countries (we move them from the previous WAN/MPLS provider to the new provider). |

Free Time / Hobbies
In my free time I first of all enjoy being with both my little son (five years old) and his mother (my girlfriend). Whenever I am not with Luca or his mother, I like to develop new solutions for my colocated machines, work on FreeBSD, reading various books ranging from fantasy to technical computerbooks, reading up on security issues, playing my guitar, socializing with friends and family, taking pictures with my digital camera, supporting Warchild. Within the Snow group we also have a few people that actively try to test out new features and things that come around, for example we created a larger OSPF network that also hosts our Proof of Concept Silc-server network, consisting of a redundant master-router and several ’slave’ servers and ofcourse our clients. We helped improving the SILC toolkit through the FreeBSD maintainer Wesley Shields, resulting in a more stable environment.
