  • About

    About me / Hey I’m Tim. I work as a systems integration specialist for a large educational institution in the Netherlands. I really enjoy automating tasks and over the course of time I’ve created several scripts to support this. A repository of scripts and patterns can be found on my DevOps Scripts & Patterns page.

    A part of my free time I spend making and creating music. I’m a drummer, but I also love to play some guitar, bass and piano. I’ve uploaded some videos & recordings to YouTube. You can also check them out from the main page or from within the Published Tracks Catalogue.

    I am married to Anita and a father of two (Amy and Noah). Anita works as a frontoffice employee. Amy is studying Business Innovation and loves hanging out with friends. Noah loves football and also loves hanging out with friends.
