Professional Life
Christiaan’s first job was working in the concession stand for a small waterpark during the hot sticky summers in southern Indiana. He worked there for 5 seasons. In college, he tried his hand in a more professional kitchen and worked as a fry cook. He quickly tired of the strict nature of the job. He left the grease behind and got a job working for Purdue's IT department. There he delivered new computers across the entire campus and provided in-person training helping them migrate from Windows XP to Windows 10. He had a blast interacting with users and training them on new features.
After graduating Purdue, Christiaan found himself struggling to find a professional jobs. He spent months applying to engineering companies across the country. As the endless automated application forms consumed his sanity, Christiaan found a job posting for Ball Systems. He soon found himself moving to Indianapolis.
