Senior🎓
Top SchoolBert Van De Poel is an experienced Linux system engineer and information technology advisor with 11 years of hands-on experience managing Debian/Ubuntu fleets, hosting platforms, and datacenter operations. He combines technical depth in system administration, scripting (Bash/Python) and PHP-based internal tooling with a linguistics background (advanced studies and PhD work) that sharpens his communication and analytical skills. A committed FOSS and privacy advocate, Bert has led teams in both commercial and research settings, from datacenter engineering to archaeological IT projects, often building practical automation and monitoring solutions. He values balanced, remote-friendly roles and brings proven customer-facing experience in support, service delivery and operations management. Unusually for an ops-focused engineer, his corpus linguistics training informs a methodical, data-driven approach to problem solving and user-focused tooling.
