Since Windows PowerShell 1.0, he uses Windows PowerShell and VMware vSphere PowerCLI for all of his scripting work. Robert is a member of the Dutch VMware User group (VMUG) Customer Council and a frequent contributor and moderator at the VMware VMTN Communities. In 2012 and 2013, VMware awarded him the vExpert title for his "significant contributions to the community and a willingness to share his expertise with others".
