2022-10-1303 minHome Labbers PodcastHome Labber Maarten Van DriessenMy name is Maarten Van Driessen, I'm a freelance infrastructure consultant and I'm a homelab addict.
A bit about myself, I started working in IT back in December of 2009. It was a servicedesk job but it gave me a lot of useful skills. In 2011 I moved into a support engineer role where I had to do everything for SMBs in Belgium. That was actually one of the jobs where I learnt the most. It forced me to figure stuff out because there wasn't really anyone to ask for help.
In 2019 I decided to become a freelancer.

Currently, I'm not operating my homelab because my girlfriend and I just built a house, and I'm not yet ready for operating the homelab. But hardware is there (like a full 42-unit rack), servers, networking, and storage. Can't wait to get it done.
