Freelance network engineer and network security engineer. The interest in computers has always been there. As recently as the 80s \u2013 when hardly anyone had a computer at home \u2013 I was already playing games on the PC as a 7-year-old. My father was an early adopter of the whole computer thing. As a teenager, I often spent months searching for the right parts to build the ultimate game console for myself. Friends also knew where to find me when gaming computers were needed or when they had an issue with their system. I haven&#8217;t had time for gaming for a while. But <strong>the passion for solving challenges, looking for bugs and cracking difficult codes continues to fascinate me.<\/strong> So I retrained to become a network engineer and network security engineer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-locr-7627c676af0672a924ec3a4381989c42 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-animated-generic right-to-left  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5tmv7-5d653539ebd98d2d65281fefc598dff2\">\n.avia-image-container.av-5tmv7-5d653539ebd98d2d65281fefc598dff2 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-5tmv7-5d653539ebd98d2d65281fefc598dff2 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-5tmv7-5d653539ebd98d2d65281fefc598dff2 av-styling-circle avia_animated_image av-animated-when-visible-95 right-to-left avia-align-left  avia-builder-el-5  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-325 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-325 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/benten.solutions\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/jo-de-smet-300-bw.jpg\" alt='' title='jo-de-smet-300-bw'  height=\"300\" width=\"300\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/benten.solutions\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/jo-de-smet-300-bw.jpg 300w, https:\/\/benten.solutions\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/jo-de-smet-300-bw-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/benten.solutions\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/jo-de-smet-300-bw-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/benten.solutions\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/jo-de-smet-300-bw-180x180.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-leual5kp-e2f37efb3133484b75ceb23c3948aa08\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-leual5kp-e2f37efb3133484b75ceb23c3948aa08{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-leual5kp-e2f37efb3133484b75ceb23c3948aa08 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-leuadaj3-c3f54f8d35405cf6f387337878277edd '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote>\n<p>A network is like a racing engine: in order for it to perform optimally, you have to maintain it constantly.
