Hi,
My name is Peter Van Eeckhoutte. I was born in 1975 in a small town called Vichte, Belgium.
14 years later, I got my first computer and about 5 years later I started working in a computer shop where I was responsible for the technical department, servers/network installations, etc… I finished my Bachelor degree in IT at the same time.
In 2000, right after the Y2K hype, I was hired by a big company to serve as Systems Administrator. My main responsibility was taking care of the servers and network, and shortly after I became part of the Center of Excellence for Security and Messaging for our European sister companies.
About one year later, I became a member of the Core Active Directory Team and Security Competence Center for the entire corporation (worldwide) and was appointed “IT Security Officer”.
In the last 4 years, our European group of companies has been acquired by another big company and we have recently merged with another large company. All of this has given me the opportunity to work with some great people all over the world, manage complex projects and keep my never-ending drive to gather knowledge alive.
Until mid june 2009, I have been serving as IT Infrastructure Manager (and IT Security Officer) at the very same company, managing an excellent team of Helpdesk/PC Support/Network Engineering/Systems Engineering folks, trying to do as much “hands-on” operations as possible.
On june 15th 2009, I was appointed IT Infrastructure Manager Northern Europe, adding our sister companies in the Netherlands and Germany to my responsibilities.
I started this blog in 2007, and founded the Corelan Security Team in september 2009.
I currently live in Deerlijk, Belgium and I’m married (to the best wife in the world !!)
