Leo Vandewoestijne is a professional unicyclist. Through his international contacts he learned about the internet, at the early stage when it still was a very elite thing in The Netherlands. After creating his website, he soon got many requests, rolled into web-development, and not much later started to offer virtual hosting, followed by dedicated, colocated and managed hosting. The whole hosting company was unplanned. But after the competition made it hard to make profitable margins, he went to specialize himself into his great interest: DNS, including setting up an own ASN and own anycast. That brought him a job at the company behind largest ccTLD (.tk), and so he's currently DNS engineer at Freenom, and so besides .tk also serving .cf, .ga and .ml and secondary for a bunch of other TLD's.
Leo's first ICANN meeting was ICANN 50 in London. He is interested in DNS, Security, and Routing.[1]
