Summary
Mark Van Huijstee is an experienced automation and infrastructure engineer with 20+ years working across Linux, AIX and enterprise cloud environments, currently focused on bioinformatics IT infrastructure and Galaxy/Slurm deployments. He combines deep UNIX systems expertise with automation tooling (Ansible, Puppet, Terraform, GitLab CI) to design, migrate and operationalize mission-critical platforms for banks, government and large enterprises. Comfortable as a hands-on engineer or consultant, he has repeatedly led large-scale migrations, created repeatable deployment stacks and built CI/CD and container platforms for on-prem and hybrid clouds. Based in Amsterdam, he prefers contract engagements and brings a pragmatic, independent style that blends infrastructure, storage and networking knowledge. A less obvious strength is his long track record of bridging legacy enterprise systems (AIX, Power hardware) to modern containerized workflows, making him adept at complex transitional projects.
