I help companies solve complex engineering problems by building reliable, scalable systems with a focus on resilient event-driven architectures and streaming data.
Based in Amsterdam, I currently build data pipeline infrastructure at the Ministerie van Defensie, powering internal communication systems and partnering with teams to solve complex engineering problems. Previously I've worked with teams at KPN, DDi, and De Ree Holland on data platforms, machine learning, and data science.
