Co-Founder & CTO
Mohammad is the technical driving force behind Virtual Computing. As CTO and co-founder he leads complex infrastructure projects ā from cloud migrations to managed multi-location networks. He shares his expertise on security, cloud architecture and IT infrastructure.
Mohammad joined Virtual Computing shortly after its founding as technical co-founder. With a background in network infrastructure and cloud architecture, he brought the depth needed to handle larger, more complex client environments.
As CTO he's responsible for the technical roadmap, the in-house data centres in Eindhoven and Den Bosch, and the architecture of the Virtual Computing platforms. He leads the engineering team and is directly involved in every complex migration or incident ā from healthcare institutions with 100+ sites to manufacturers with 24/7 uptime demands.
In recent years Mohammad has led Virtual Computing in cybersecurity and compliance. He built out ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certification and drives VC's NIS2 approach for SMB clients.
āA good network is one you never hear about. That's what me and the team make sure of ā day and night, quietly.ā
