Few people are ever allowed on a data center floor. Andreas van der Linden is one of those people. Andreas is a data center technician and the maintenance lead at Google's Eemshaven data center in the Netherlands. Every day, he and his team weave through aisles of server racks, making sure all the computers are running optimally. To become an expert at fixing computers, Andreas first had to become an expert at taking them apart.

But he never loses sight of his inner kid – and a passion for cracking open a computer himself to see what needs fixing. Learn more about building your career at a data center.
