Summary
Eelke Smit is a Network & Security Specialist with 10 years of hands-on experience designing, building and troubleshooting enterprise-grade security and application delivery solutions across public sector and commercial environments in the Netherlands. He holds deep, certified expertise in F5 (CSE, LTM, ASM, DNS, APM) and Palo Alto Networks (PCNSE), and regularly applies Infoblox and Fortinet technologies to solve DNS/IPAM and perimeter security challenges. Currently driving F5 security and automation at RIVM while consulting through OpenSecure and supporting Politie Nederland, he blends operational rigor with architecture-level thinking. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic, auditable designs that scale in regulated contexts and for automations that reduce operational risk. A former change manager and long-term security engineer, he brings both process discipline and low-level troubleshooting chops — often surfacing subtle interoperability issues before they become incidents.
