Brian van Baekel quickly discovered how powerful Zabbix is during his career as a network engineer. Ever since, he has been working with Zabbix in various (large) environments, leading to his official Zabbix Certified Trainer certification in early 2017.
In 2018, Brian founded Opensource ICT Solutions BV in the Netherlands and Opensource ICT Solutions LLC in the US. Both companies primarily focus on building Zabbix environments all over the world. In 2021, further expansion of the business was established by opening a subsidiary in the United Kingdom with a full focus on the Zabbix product. All companies provide support, training, and consultancy services, which means Brian works with the Zabbix product 24/7.
Fun fact: Even his cat is named Zabbix.
