Hi, my name is

Pieter.

Here I talk about my work, studies and hobbies

A passionate Linux System Administrator always trying to learn new things

About Me

I found linux in 2019 and fell in love with it. I started my journey with Hardware passthrough to enable 165FPS gaming in a Virtual machine. Now my graphics card goes mostly unused while I continue to enhance my system administration skills.

My Current goals are to take a deep dive into Kubernetes and Infrastucture as Code with Ansible and Terraform.

In my free time I enjoy building and talking about custom keyboards, listening to music with HighFi headphones and most importantly practicing IT.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • kubernetes
  • Ansible AWX
  • github actions
  • Proxmox
  • Debian
  • Alma Linux
  • HAproxy
  • Nginx
  • MySQL
  • Fortigate Firewall
  • Juniper
  • Zabbix
