Tac Engineer
Enschede
In 2019 I was introduced to my highly skilled colleagues at Tesorion and a crash course in its network access control solution. This close-knit team had been working on an extremely versatile and mature inhouse developed NAC solution for many years, which allowed for a rude awakening on any notion and knowledge of computer (networking) solutions I thought I possessed 😃 (!) Very grateful to be working in such a specialized environment, it forced me to quickly adapt and educate myself in a wide variety of essential concepts and components of a Debian based networking solution. A great smile will only get you so far - so in order to adequately service and troubleshoot our range of customers, a basic understanding of programming languages and other underlying (web) code quickly became essential, e.g. SQL, RADIUS, SNMP, Perl, Ruby, Bash, HTML, CSS, Apache, threat intel, mail relays, the list goes on - and of course the Linux command line and packages in general. Needless to say I have great respect for al the people involved in development and deployment of this product and during these years have acquired a great and lasting experience, which will undoubtedly remain useful in any of my future challenges and endeavors. Experiencing a variety of customers and creating trusting and long lasting relationships, steered my career path towards Service Level Management, which again posed exciting and new challenges of its own!
