About

A little about me.

Portrait of Mohammad Moghtader
Mohammad “Xmoo” Moghtader

I'm an IT & Business Professional based in the Netherlands, working at the intersection of people, technology, and practical problem-solving.

I'm passionate about improving processes, helping teams work better together, and turning complex challenges into clear, workable solutions. Curious by nature and always learning, I love exploring new ideas, sharing what I find, and using technology to make a meaningful difference.

Some of you might know me better as Xmoo — a nickname I've had since I was nine. The X is for “Extreme,” Mo is short for Mohammad, and the extra “o”… well, I was bigger than the other Mo's. Put it together and you get Xmoo.

Education

I've built my educational foundation step by step. I started with an MBO in Computer & Server Management, where I developed strong technical and practical IT skills. I continued my journey with an HBO/Bachelor in IT & Business, deepening my understanding of how technology and organizations work together. To complete that path, I earned a Master's degree in Information Management, focusing on strategy, innovation, and how information and technology can support smarter decision-making and real impact.

In short…

  1. Master of Science

    Information Management

    Thesis — IT Continuity: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: a decision-making framework for IT continuity strategies in cloud environments.

  2. Bachelor of Science

    ICT & Business

    Pre-minor in ICT Management & Security; minor in Enterprise Resource Planning & Business Intelligence.

  3. MBO

    Computer & Server Management

    Windows and Linux administration and web programming (PHP) — where the hands-on foundation was built.

I helping the next generation of IT talent on their way. Thanks to my range of degrees, I can put myself in the shoes of students at very different levels. I also work with Yonder, Fontys Hogescholen and a few local secondary schools.
