Basewall B.V.

• System Architect

  • Sep 2005 - Feb 2006

  Based on my own developed Protactive firewall, BaseWall offered a large, international commercial network. Unfortunately BaseWall didn't prove a solid enough, visionary company, it's shareholders weren't able to sufficiently protect themselves against a former business partner in the USA. A lost legal battle rendered BaseWall incapable of financially upholding their company. Based on my own developed Protactive firewall, BaseWall offered a large, international commercial network.
