Mark Verboom has been adept at Unix since he first used it in 1992 (ULTRIX on VAX). With a BSc in software engineering and data communications, Mark has worked in numerous positions as a Unix administrator, consultant, and software engineer. He has branched out into areas, such as network design and administration, virtualization, security, and other non-IT fields, such as electronics and car fuel management systems. Because of this, his skills gradually became too broad to fit one job and led to him starting his own company in 2011, called Kram Solutions.
Outside of work, Mark has a keen interest in cars (modifying and upgrading them), audio books, and 3D printing.
