Michaël Van de gaer

Hello! My name is Michaël. I joined the IT consultancy world in 2014. The VMware fever got into me in the beginning of my career and has been growing ever since! The first assignments ranged from first line support engineer to system engineer and change coordinator. The seemingly endless possibilities of Software Defined amaze me, hence I chose the path of automation & orchestration.

Combining these 2 products with the SDDC stack is like integrating it with your imagination! You put something in a black box, then some magic happens, and poof you’ve got what you want. (In the best-case scenario :D).

I’m also passionate about home automation, cars & motorcycles. Next to “scripting Saturdays” to improve my home automation, you might also find me riding my motorcycle on Sundays. I love discovering new places and the thrill of curvy roads. See you out there!

Welcome to our blog!
