About me

Short Biography
I started my career as an IT-er right after the big “Y2K”-hype. It wasn’t a bad time to start, as a lot of companies were hiring freshly graduated students. During this phase I signed a contract with a packaging group, Vangenechten Packaging, as a system administrator. During the years I grew into a function as a system engineer where I was working on virtualized Weblogic (J2EE) & Oracle (RAC) clusters.

After about 6 years I decided to leave the nest I became accustomed to, and step into the consultancy world. Here I joined the Elmos team which outsourced me to Nokia Siemens Networks where I was still active on a deep technical level.

Along with the switch I decided to build the web space you’re currently reading. The initial goal was to contribute back to the community. As I resolved a lot of my daily issues by browsing the web looking for a set of solutions. After the summer of 2008 I enrolled in an IT management course at HUB. Here I learned the basics management insights any IT leader should have. I refer to these skills as “the needed basics”, yet experience has shown me that this is not as evident as one should think.

In the summer of 2008 I rejoined my old nest to strengthen the IT department of the Vangenechten Group. In my new function as a project/resource manager I would be saying farewell to the technical hands-on, but it would give me the chance to use my experience at another level…

Along with this move I started my own company called LogiTouch. With LogiTouch you have found a reliable and experienced partner for all your Webdesign, Branding & Communication projects. We guarantee a personal service at a fair price whilest delivering a high quality.
