mischa.peters@hxxfoundation.nl
Mischa Peters first witnessed the colourful lights of the delivery room’s hospital equipment in 1973. As years went on, his internet career was kick started at XS4ALL in 1995. During this time, he was partly responsible for the organisation of HIP97. Eventually he proceeded to work for various US based companies, currently holding a position at Foundry Networks. In his spare time, Mischa likes to burn elbow grease with his company High5!, providing a base for on- and offline networking, hosting, co-locating, consulting, on top of feeding the hamsters that power everything. Postfix Admin is probably his most noticeable achievement in the quagmire of web-based apps, used by hundreds if not thousands of companies worldwide.
