Senior🎓
Top SchoolRaymond Kuiper is an experienced IT System Engineer with 14 years designing and operating monitoring-first infrastructure across datacenters, global WANs, retail chains and fabrication plants. He combines deep hands-on networking skills (Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet) with automation expertise in SaltStack, Python and configuration management to deliver zero-effort provisioning and observability-driven operations. A long-time Zabbix advocate and active open-source contributor, he enhanced SaltStack’s Zabbix integration to manage usermacros declaratively via the Zabbix API. Raymond excels at turning monitoring into actionable context—building dashboards and automation that reduce time-to-detect and time-to-fix for complex environments. Based in Oud-Beijerland, Netherlands, he balances pragmatic engineering with consultancy experience for customers like Action, Fastned and ASICS. Outside work he’s as likely to be sailing or riding a motorcycle as debugging packet captures.
