Leo Vandewoestijne is DNS anycast engineer at Freenom, serving .tk, .cf, .ga and .ml, plus secondary for a bunch of other TLD's.

Career History edit
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; included 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.
