Veenstra
I started working at 18, from a ServiceDesk employee to a workspace and system engineer at a large insurance firm in the Netherlands. 1996, those were the days! After working there for almost 11 years, I had different system engineer jobs and learned much about Citrix, Cisco, VMWare, storage, and Microsoft. Currently, I’m employed at NEXXT (https://www.nexxt.one) as a Consultant, mainly in Endpoint Management, but I do anything Microsoft 😉 (Client, Server, 365, and Azure).
And… I became a Microsoft MVP in March 2024 in PowerShell and still am in 2025!

You can also find me in the Microsoft Tech Community, where I was a “member of the week” in January 2022. 😀 Since then, I have made many more posts in the Intune and PowerShell forums. Helping people out is always good, and I’m learning from the experience.
Experience
- After 27 years of working in IT, my main focus is Microsoft. (And yes, that’s a large area.). My interests are mainly Microsoft Intune, Microsoft 365, and PowerShell.
