Hello, I’m Maxime. I have dedicated myself to the dynamic field of IT, beginning my professional journey at Incrius, a boutique IT firm. There, I gained extensive experience in cloud technologies, focusing on the full M365 stack and various Azure projects. After five productive years at Incrius, I transitioned to freelancing with Arxus(Part of the Cronos Group), where I specialized in endpoint management and developed a comprehensive managed service around it. Through my blog, I aim to share the knowledge and insights I've gained, providing valuable guides and perspectives on modern workplace trends and IT developments. My goal is to assist others in navigating the complexities of the IT landscape. Beyond my professional endeavors, I am a Belgian ski instructor and an avid scuba diver. These activities, along with my interest in Home Assistant and 3D printing, provide a balanced and creative outlet. I am particularly fascinated by the potential of integrating these technologies, with a long-term aspiration to develop my own JARVIS. Maxime https://cloudflow.be
