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 in the DEVOPS section Which is actually another site.

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 directly from this site.
