Groundworkz

⛵ ⛵ ⛵ ⛵ ⛵ ⛵ IT GIET OAN!!!!! Last Saturday, it was time for our yearly Groundworkz family event. This year we managed to get a spot on a REAL Skûtje and sailed a successful regatta on the Snekermeer in Friesland. With his excellent sailing skills our Skipper Luuc Elzinga from Skûtje UT & THÛS managed to transform our Groundworkz Crew with kids into a high skilled, high performing Skûtje crew that managed to win the race against the fierce competition from the Jonge Rein, Hoop op Zegen & Lege Walden. 😉 The finish was at SALT in Terherne, where we were welcomed with good food and drinks! A day well spent, and where some (Suheri Koes and Paul Akkermans) do NOT need a workout in the gym this week😁. #skutjesilen #friesland

When creating a pipeline in your DevOps some users might get the above error. Read how to make a self-hosted agent (on your system or even on a Virtual Machine)!

To facilitate this shift, Redmond is of course championing the use of Microsoft Azure AI services as a route to building custom AI applications. To achieve the critical mass it so dearly seeks, Microsoft is partnering with GitHub to enable its 100 million developers to build AI applications directly on the GitHub platform. 

Since Togaf (and Archimate) are kind of default for each SA position, we decided to offer and organize this in a instructor lead 2 days intense course.

Three years have flown by so quickly. What we've achieved together is truly something to mention and celebrate! Christopher Hill is the cornerstone of Groundworkz. I vividly remember pitching the idea of an "infra as code" engineering company to him. Chris immediately saw the potential and made the bold decision to leave his job and join a startup that was just an idea. His leap of faith is something I deeply admire. Starting Groundworkz in April 2021, during the peak of the Corona pandemic, was challenging. We only met via Teams calls, never in person, but the chemistry was there. Chris envisioned a company culture like a “school class full of engineers who are good classmates and friends,” and that's how the unique Groundworkz culture was born. Today, with a "class" of 18 Infra as Code engineers, we can proudly say, it worked out well. We all share and cherish a culture of subject matter experts who work together and enjoy fun activities after work. Yesterday, we took a moment to celebrate this and of course Chris’s three years at Groundworkz with a nice lunch at the great Restaurant Hemel & Aarde. Besides the good food and wine, we discussed how we can build further on our “foundation class culture”. Chris came up with some great ideas that we will see come to life in the next months and years. Thank you, Chris, for your dedication. Let’s make our 5-year “big fat duck deal” become a reality! 😊 #Anniversary #Leadership #Teamwork #StartupJourney #Groundworkz

🎉 Cheers to One Year! 🎉 Today, we're raising a toast to Jan Van Aardenne and Rudolf Sneep, who are celebrating their 1-year anniversary with Groundworkz and working with our client, Conclusion! Jan and Rudolf, your dedication and great energy have truly made a difference. You’ve overcome challenges and brought exciting new perspectives both within our company and on the client's side. Here’s to celebrating this milestone and many more amazing moments to come. Thanks for being such awesome teammates!

At Groundworkz we like to work on the foundation and ground layer of IT but sometimes it is the best to go even deeper than that and explore the underwater world. We are lucky to have within our group, Mike Reynolds and Karla Reynolds, TDI and SDI scuba diving instructors who offered us to showcase how diving in Netherlands can be. After a basic training in the pool we dared to take the plunge and see the wonders of Vinkeveen lake who was an amazing experience and great team bonding on another level. Interested in exploring the wonders beneath the surface?  Dive into a world of adventure with the expert-led diving lessons with Lightdarkdiving.nl and enjoy new experiences!

🚀 Last week, Niels Oldenburger from Groundworkz gave us an insightful session on understanding DevOps practices and how to implement them in our work. 🚀 Thank you for hosting an excellent DevOps knowledge session. Your insights and practical advice were incredibly useful and much appreciated by our team. We look forward to applying what we've learned and continuing to improve our DevOps practices.
