About Herbert
Als system engineer heb ik al gewerkt voor de grootste banken en verzekeringsmaatschappijen van België. Begonnen als PC technicus in een kleine lokale computerwinkel, waar ik ook ben doorgegroeid daar B2B specialist met tools zoals Microsoft 365 en Windows Server. Doorheen de jaren werd ik meer en meer geinteresseerd in open source, waardoor ik me meer ben beginnen focussen op Linux, Python en automation tools zoals Ansible. De laatste jaren heb ik mijn cloud kennis, naast Microsoft 365, ook uitgebreid naar AWS. Over het algemeen kan je mij omschrijven als een all-rounder, maar de stack waarin ik mij als specialist zou omschrijven zijn AWS, RHEL, Python, Terraform en Ansible.
