Since 1995, we have built and run the servers our clients rely on for mail, web, files and databases.
Our experience with Unix and Apple systems goes back nearly four decades.
Words and Wires is owned and run by the people who do the work, and we use the technologies we deliver every day.
Built on open source, our solutions are fully yours: no lock-in, no opaque licensing.
Founder. john@waw.be
I started at the University of Liège’s Cyclotron Research Centre, processing medical radioisotopes on an Apple ][ and a Commodore 64. I then studied computing, ran a translation business to afford an Apple //c and a Macintosh Plus, and have worked in IT, networking and databases ever since.
MSc in Computer Information Systems, Boston University. Lecturer at EPHEC.
Cybersecurity and infrastructure. andy@waw.be
I grew up in a family of self-employed IT professionals. After two years as a social worker, I went back to school for a bachelor’s in computer science, specialising in network and systems security, and led large projects in databases, virtualisation and cybersecurity along the way.
Today I work across the family business.
