Home Labber Maarten Van Driessen
My 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.
I've always tinkered around with computers, but for some reason when I made it my job that kind of died down. I first got back into homelabbing in 2014 when I started learning about vSphere and wanted to get to know the product. Due to personal reasons I had to sell it a couple of years later and it kind of died down again.
Fast forward to 2021 and I decided to pull the trigger again and purchase something that could be called a production worthy setup. As a freelancer, I need to pay for my own training. i didn't really look forward to dishing out large amounts of cash to training centers because that's not the way I learn the best.
I splurged on the lab and learn new technologies that way. This immediately gives me practical experience and in the end it will also be cheaper.

Home Labber Karl Widmer
My homelab has a long history. The very first version has been introduced back in 2016.
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.
