Career History[edit | edit source]
Leo was -and still is- a professional unicyclist [2]. Through his international contacts, he learned about the internet, at a very early stage, when it still was a very elite thing in The Netherlands. After creating his website, he soon got many requests, rolled into web development, and not much later offered virtual hosting, followed by dedicated, colocated and managed hosting. The whole hosting company was unplanned but brought notable customers, and experience in (very) high-number environments.
After the competition made it hard on the market to make profitable margins, he specialized himself into his great passion: DNS; including setting up an own ASN and own anycast. While trying to sell that service to TLD operators it soon brought him an unplanned but nice job at Freenom, the company behind the largest ccTLD.
