Justin Van der Werff

Intro

I am Justin, 20 years old. From a young age, I took apart my father's computers. They didn't work afterward because I used a hammer, but this opened up the world of technology in IT and hardware repair for me. Since 2016, I have been actively working at various companies and internships, which has significantly increased my knowledge. I am very skilled in working with all types of equipment, such as laptops, desktops, servers, etc. I also continuously develop my software skills, focusing on networking, virtual machines, setting up Windows environments, and domains. Furthermore, I never shy away from a challenge. See also my work page.

Work

As you know, my passion lies in IT, and my career continues to evolve in this field.

I have gained valuable experience through various jobs and internships in the Netherlands, where I have developed strong technical skills, including:

• In-depth knowledge of Windows 7, 8.1, 10, and 11.
• Setting up firewalls and VPN tunnels, particularly with Sophos UTM.
• Extensive experience with Windows Server 2016, 2022, and 2025.
• Configuring and operationalizing servers, including service installations.
• Expertise in VoIP telephony.
• Microsoft azure and Intune

Currently, I am expanding my knowledge and skills by working at Incito ICT en Telecom. as an IT Helpdesk and System Administrator. My skils are mostly based on Microsoft apps, for example Intune and Entra ID

My enthusiasm for IT doesn't stop at work i am also actively involved in volunteer projects such as digikids rijnwoude. In this initiative, I collaborate with a team of mentors to teach young children how IT is applied in real-world scenarios. To support these projects, I have set up and maintained a dedicated server, allowing the children to gain hands-on experience.

Skills

Over the years, I have developed a strong skill set in hardware and IT, which I'd love to share.

At my first major employer, I gained extensive hands-on experience in repairing and maintaining various devices, including:

• Laptops and desktops
• Servers and workstations
• Apple Macs and MacBooks
• iPhones and Samsung smartphones
• Printers

At my main job, I specialize in modern workspaces using Microsoft Intune and Azure. I genuinely enjoy working with high-end software solutions and configuring complex network environments it's always an exciting and rewarding challenge. My focus areas include the following:

• Microsoft Intune and Entra
• Servers and workstations management
• Voip systems
• Networking
• Security cameras

Throughout my career, I have also worked closely with leading tech brands such as:

• Dell
• HP
• Lenovo
• Apple
• Asus
• Microsoft

My ability to disassemble, service, and restore these devices without the need for manuals has become second nature.

Beyond my professional work, hardware has always been a personal passion. I love taking devices apart to understand how they function. This curiosity led me to explore battery repairs, particularly for DJI drone batteries. I discovered that with the right software and diagnostic tools, I could reset chips and restore battery life. This passion even inspired me to start a small business specializing in these repairs.

For me, working with hardware is more than just a job it's something that excites and challenges me every day.
