Barry Kleijn is a seasoned Technical Engineer with over 12 years of hands-on experience managing and modernizing IT environments for SMEs and larger enterprises from his base in Beverwijk. He specializes in Windows desktop and server platforms, virtualization (VMware), Microsoft 365/Exchange, and hardware lifecycle management, with a track record of migrations, monitoring and on-site support. Colleagues describe him as social, stress‑resilient and collaborative—qualities he pairs with disciplined incident handling and process improvement from helpdesk coordination to operational administration. Barry has a strong practical foundation in backup and availability tooling (VEEAM, Symantec) and a history of working across critical sites such as Tata Steel and healthcare/research environments. While he aspires to independent system‑administrator roles, he’s also keen to deepen expertise in Windows Client OS (10/11/12), combining user-facing support skills with infrastructure know‑how. Outside work he’s an avid gamer and tabletop player, which reflects his team-oriented, strategic mindset.
