Mark de Keijzer · Globestar Solutions
I build the cloud so that I and my clients never have to look at it.
Since 2005, I’ve been building my own platform with Globestar Solutions: Kubernetes clusters, a CMDB at its core, AI, mail security, telephony, and video chat. Fully automated, secure, and downtime-free.

About me
A builder with the mindset of an entrepreneur.
I’m Mark de Keijzer, from Apeldoorn. In 2005 I founded Globestar Solutions, and since then I’ve been running my own IT business. In addition, I work as a senior technical administrator at PinkRoccade Healthcare.
I’m a builder. Working alone, I’ve set up my own complete cloud platform: self-hosted Kubernetes clusters with KubernetesOnline as the control center, a CMDB at its core, AI via ai-api.nl, mail security with BastionMX, a password vault with BastionKey, custom telephony, video chat with mooz and moozpro—and for fun, my own games platform.
My guiding principles are simple: everything automated, everything secure, zero downtime. My customers never have to do anything technical — I take care of it all. I go deep technically, but think like an entrepreneur: switch quickly and build smartly on what’s already in place.

Profile
Entrepreneur and platform engineer with my own fully self-built cloud platform. Owner of Globestar Solutions in Apeldoorn since 2005—the hub for cloud, AI, and SaaS. I combine technical depth—Kubernetes, bare metal, mail, telephony, and AI—with an entrepreneurial mindset. I automate everything, build securely from the start, and deploy without downtime, so customers don’t need to look anywhere else for technical support.
