Tammer

Sebastiaan Tammer is a Linux enthusiast from The Netherlands. After attaining his BSc in Information Sciences, he graduated with a MSc in Business Informatics, both from Utrecht University. His professional career started in Java development, before he pivoted into a Linux opportunity. Because of this dual background, he feels most at home in a DevOps environment. Besides working extensively with a number of technologies such as Puppet, Chef, Docker and Kubernetes, Sebastiaan has also attained the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) and Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) certificates. But most importantly, he spends a lot of time in and around his terminal of choice: Bash. Whether it is creating complex scripting solutions or just automating simple tasks, there is hardly anything he hasnt done with Bash!
