About Johan Els

Over 25 years of hands-on experience in computer, networking and television technologies, I'm both skilled and passionate about all aspects of technology and how they integrate. My professional employment has taken me from technical support all the way to the Master Engineer Video, from South Africa to the Netherlands. I have real world hands-on working experience in cloud, desktops, development, management, networks, research, servers, video and virtualization, makes management of professionals in these disciplines a unique experience and honor. My personality strengths include accountability, innovative thinking, persistent, problem solver, responsible and self-driven. I enjoy learning new skills and approaches for things in my fields of interest, like what containers has done for virtualization. I'm looking for a good challenge and the opportunity to grow personally and professionally, taking other professionals along for the journey.
