I was born in the summer of 1989 and reside in Rijkevorsel (Antwerp-Belgium). In high school, at 16 years old, I knew I did not want to pursuit a career in the field I was studying for, when I had some time you could find me writing (spaghetti) code on pieces of paper that I would type out in a Notepad-like tool at home. At the same time, running servers my own servers was also very interesting , I already had experience with setting up a simple Apache server with PHP-mod (mod_php to be precise) to run my c
Setting up those servers/services was so much fun! I was running a DNS-server (because I did not yet know of the hosts-file " hack "), Web-server, Database, VoIP-server, FTP-server, file-server, modded minecraft-server (we played this game the longest). So after high school I decided to take evening classes to learn how to be a Network Technician.
In Network-class we would learn all about routers, switches, CISCO, IP-addresses, how to make our own network cables, setting up WiFi networks and Access Points, filtering based on MAC-addresses, … Of course some of these things I had basic knowledge of, but I learned some new and pretty cool things too!
