Welcome Quentin!

Secretly a familiar face at vPlan already: meet Quentin. Whether he's sliding down the slopes in a purple dinosaur suit or enjoying a spicy Thai curry – nothing is too crazy for him. Time to get to know our colleague Quentin.

Welcome Quentin!

He’s been a familiar face at vPlan since the very beginning. Technically strong, always up for a joke, and never one to shy away from a little adventure (yes, including skiing down the slope dressed as a purple dinosaur). Time to get to know our Quentin a little better!


You’ve been working with us for quite some time now. What’s been the most fun or memorable moment so far?

There have been quite a few! Over the years, we've shared lots of laughs and great moments with the team. But if I had to choose one that really stands out, it would be the time we hit the slopes dressed as purple dinosaurs.


What will you mainly be focusing on at vPlan?

My focus lies in two areas: on the one hand, I maintain and optimize our current infrastructure to ensure everything runs smoothly and reliably. On the other hand, I'm working on designing and implementing a new infrastructure based on AWS cloud technology. A great step forward!


What's your favorite way to start the day?

I like to start my day slowly. First, a good cup of coffee and a nice chat with my colleagues. Then I check the schedule and get to work.


What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

In my spare time, I love being creative and technical. Every year I take part in the Europarit. I also really enjoy tinkering with electronics projects and home automation.


What can colleagues wake you up for?

That has happened before—due to an outage—but that’s not exactly fun. Want to really make me happy? Wake me up with some good sushi!


What's your favorite way to relax after a busy week?

Mowing the lawn. Seriously. The monotonous sound of the mower and not having to think or do anything for a while – that’s pure relaxation for me. Escaping the digital world and enjoying the simplicity of the outdoors.


Do you have a favorite holiday destination, or is there somewhere you'd really love to go?

I found Vietnam impressive – the culture and the beautiful nature. The U.S. and Canada also surprised me! But there are still two countries high on my list: Japan and New Zealand.


What’s your favorite food or dish?

I’m a big fan of Thai food, especially a good green curry.


You've joined quite a few team trips and ski getaways – what's been your favorite vPlan outing so far?

That’s a tough question, because they’ve all been amazing! From skiing in Ischgl, Mayrhofen, and Fieberbrunn to soaking up the sun in Cyprus!

What's something we absolutely need to know about you?

I’ve been on TV once!
