About Me

I’m Aswin Tjalsma. IT has been part of my life for over twenty years — I started out as a technician laying and certifying data and telecom networks, and I’m now an IT consultant focused on automation and security.

What drives me in my work: solving a complex problem for a client so thoroughly that they never have to think about it again. That goes for security just as much as automation — creating peace of mind by setting things up properly and structurally, not with quick patches.

That urge to set things up smartly doesn’t stop at my front door. At home I run my own homelab — self-hosted services, home automation, and a handful of Raspberry Pi and Arduino projects on the side.

Outside of IT, I enjoy movies and series, board games, and spending time with friends — whether that’s at home or out and about.
