Projects

Architect @ Infrabel
A more long term cooperation was agreed upon after the first projects because of the many projects which needed to be completed after the first term. In the first place, my services are required for the reorganization of the entire NMBS/SNCB group, but also for several other side projects. Meanwhile, I have full responsibility of the environment as before and provide 3d line support where needed.

Architect @ NMBS/SNBC Holding (ICT for Rail)
After the first 3 months, ICTRA renewed my contract for a year to function as Exchange/Lync Architect. This because of the fact that my division, UCP, recently gained the full responsibility of the whole Exchange and Lync back-end. So now I'm responsible for planning and implementing RFI's, RFC's, updates and upgrades on the Exchange and Lync servers. In parallel, I also still provide 3d line support.

System Engineer @ NMBS/SNBC Holding (ICT for Rail)
A mission of 3 months at NMBS as 3d line Engineer for Microsoft Exchange and Lync in an environment with 30.000 users. The Exchange environment consists of 12 servers in a fully redundant DAG using Hardware Load Balancers. The Lync environment consists of 1 Enterprise Pool with 2 Front-End servers with mediation (connectivity to Alcatel and Siemens PBXes using AudioCodes Media Gateways), providing Presence/IM/AV Conferencing/Enterprise Voice for 1.500 users (as pilot).
