Summary
Bas Steelooper is a pragmatic technology owner and senior technical consultant with 20+ years of hands-on experience and 11 years in focused consulting roles, specializing in Windows infrastructure, Active Directory, security, migrations and enterprise messaging. He has led security and architecture work for large financial and public-sector clients (BNP Paribas, de Volksbank, Erasmus MC) and served as CISO/ad interim, translating regulatory requirements like GDPR into practical technical controls. As founder of Steelooper Consulting and sole owner of XOBIT IT Services, he combines client-facing delivery with a small hosting/dev environment used to prototype and host client sites. Colleagues rely on him as the go-to troubleshooter for complex AD, Exchange and cloud migration challenges, and he’s comfortable across stack boundaries from Java/PHP web work to infrastructure automation. Notably, his career blends deep operational remediation—stabilizing flakey production environments—with strategic design of secure, auditable architectures for regulated environments. Based in the UK with roots in the Netherlands, he brings a no-nonsense, results-first approach to security and systems engineering.
