Hi there! 🙋♂️ My name is Nick and I’m a NOC Engineer at Speakup, a 📞 leading communications provider located in Enschede, Netherlands 🇳🇱. I’m passionate about technology 💻 and have a strong interest in IT, especially in the area of GNU/Linux Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) 🙌 and networking. I have honed my technical skills through self-study 📚 and on-the-job experience, and I’m always looking for opportunities to learn and grow 💪.
In my free time, I enjoy tinkering with my home-lab 🧪, flying drones 🛸, spending time with friends 💬, and playing video games 🎮. I’m also an active member of Coloclue, a community of like-minded individuals who share my passion for technology 🤝. Additionally, in 2015, I founded a small IT services company 💼 called Bouwhuis IT that caters to small to medium businesses.
