Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Pieper is a seasoned Linux system and network engineer with nine years of hands-on experience designing and operating large-scale, multi-site infrastructures from The Hague. He specializes in routing, optical WDM, and datacenter networking—leading migrations from Cisco to Juniper, spanning-tree to EVPN-VXLAN, and managing ASes for thousands of residential and institutional connections. Nick builds resilient services (anycast DNS, CGNAT, high-availability caching and load balancing) and automates operational workflows with Ansible and Python, including BGP-based DDoS mitigation. Comfortable across hypervisors (KVM/Xen/VMware), firewalls, and large-scale DNS/HTTP deployments, he blends low-level network engineering with pragmatic systems automation. Outside work he experiments widely with open source and maintains diverse personal projects, often reusing production-grade tooling in hobby setups. Colleagues know him as a network enthusiast who turns complex routing and scaling challenges into reliable, maintainable solutions.
