// about me

Who am I?

Sietse Didden

Hi, I'm Sietse Didden – an IT student from Belgium, now based in Vienna. I'm passionate about teaching, cloud automation, cybersecurity, and building tools that make people's lives easier. During my internship at vzw De Waaiburg, I was given full freedom to design end‑to‑end solutions, from PowerShell scripts to Meraki API integrations and security awareness campaigns.

Beyond coding and infrastructure, I enjoy being outdoors, playing chess, giving presentations, and relaxing with games.. I believe that good technology should be invisible – it should just work and empower users without frustration. That’s why I always focus on usability and clear communication, whether I'm writing code or training employees.

Internship · vzw De Waaiburg

vzw De Waaiburg

23 February – 29 May 2026 · Geel, Belgium

Three main assignments:
• Making the NAS share user‑friendly
• Migration to Meraki switches
• Password policy development & security awareness

Additional improvements:
• Printer workflows: digital scanning, locked print
• Security awareness training: phishing, password hygiene

I was given full freedom in what I did and how I approached it. This taught me to analyse problems independently, design my own solutions, and manage my workload. Weighing technical options in a professional environment, aligning with stakeholders, and delivering training to end users were also valuable experiences.
