About Me
SUMMARY
I have been working in the IT sector since 2000 with a passion for infrastructure, operating systems, networking and middleware. In addition to extensive knowledge of Windows, I have immersed myself in Linux / Solaris / UNIX and WebSphere.
After 4 years as an infrastructure and network consultant at LogicaCMG Netherlands, I joined Aon in July 2004, a global company in (re-)insurance and health and benefits consultancy.
As senior IT specialist I am responsible for the high availability hosting platform of the EMEA region. My knowledge extends from firewalls, load balancers and web servers to application servers and database servers.
My work approach is diligent, analytical and purposeful. My thorough technical knowledge and enthusiastic people skills make me a good team player/leader.
