About CloudGirl

Hi, this is me: Marieke. A 30-year-old woman, who’s living near Rotterdam in The Netherlands. In my free time, I love traveling, photography, reading and gardening. I am the proud owner of three Campbell dwarf hamsters, named after my childhood favorite book series: Lily, Ginny and Luna.

I have studied in the field of Social Work, but I quickly found out that’s not my passion. After graduating, I decided to find out what does spark my enthusiasm. A traineeship in IT was one of the options that crossed my path, and being interested in computers since a young age, I decided to grab the opportunity with both hands.

During the traineeship, I learned that IT is the field I’d see myself working in. It never stops developing and new learning paths continuously arise. With my eyes on the future, I decided to specialize in working in the Cloud, with Azure as a main focus point. Since October 2022, I have been part of the Dutch Cloud Meetup team in order to keep sharing knowledge amongst Dutch cloud specialists.

Gaining new knowledge has become one of my favorite parts of the job, but I decided it is time to give back. With this website, I want to share the knowledge I have found and be a platform to help you become more skilled in IT and the Cloud in particular.
