Summary
Robert Blokzijl is a DevOps engineer based in Delft with nine years of experience building and operating secure, Linux-centered infrastructure and developer tools. He blends low-level systems programming in C/C++ and Python with cloud-native and web technologies (Vue, Django, Firebase) to deliver maintainable SPAs and backend services. His background includes network security analysis at Fox-IT and hands-on virtualization and NSX lab work, giving him particular strength in network architecture, troubleshooting, and virtualized datacenter stacks. At Hunt & Hackett he focuses on production-grade DevOps practices, while earlier part-time C++ work produced Linux server maintenance tooling—evidence of pragmatic, systems-first craftsmanship. Comfortable across the full stack from kernel-adjacent scripting to frontend PWAs, he also brings strong CLI and version-control fluency and practical security tooling experience (Snort, BRO, VPNs). Notably, his academic path from Network Systems Engineering to a Computer Science master underpins a disciplined approach to complex infrastructure problems.
