I started my IT career at Sun Microsystems Nederland BV from July 13th 1998 until December 31st 2002. My function was Technology Systems Engineer. Beside that I was the specialist on the Sun Ray Appliance and Operating Environment Ambassador for Sun Netherlands.

Then I worked for Competa IT as a senior IT architect (September 1st 2007 until August 31th 2016). At first I was seconded at Rabobank Nederland, modernizing there Sun/Solaris base and maintaining there networkmanagement enviroment. The last 6 years at Competa I was seconded at Wigo4it. Initially to modernize there Sun/Solaris enviroment. But after I was done with that after only one year, I shifted focus to other areas within the organisation like networking, storage, databases and most of all security! After 6 years of secondmend at Wigo4it, I decided to leave Competa and become an internal employee of Wigo4it in the role of Security Architect. Here I got the change to build the Security Architecture from scratch and to assist in setting up the Enterprise Archicture.
