Ferry Boender is a pragmatic consultant and software engineer with 13+ years of hands-on experience delivering and maintaining in-house and open-source systems across PHP, Python, Perl, C and shell environments. He combines application design, systems administration and software development infrastructure setup—especially for ITIL, anti-spam, monitoring and reporting solutions—turning complex operational requirements into maintainable tooling. An active open-source contributor and DevOps enthusiast, he’s notably improved the ansible-cmdb project with a redesigned html_fancy template and enhanced host-detail UX and disk-usage displays.

Based in the Arnhem–Nijmegen region, Ferry’s background includes long-term commitments to both consultancy and F/OSS publishing, reflecting a preference for durable, practical engineering over chasing trends.
