FractionalDataArchitect

I design data systems that actually get built. Senior architecture, hands-on engineering, and a roadmap that scales, without hiring a full-time Head of Data.

Built and led data platforms at Easyfairs, Port of Antwerp-Bruges and Cerba Research.

Principles · 003

How I work, and what you get.

Three principles every engagement is built on. Bring them up in our discovery call. It's the fastest way to find out if we'll work well together.

01 / 03

Senior, every single day.

No partner-pitch, junior-delivery model. When you hire me, you get me, on the keyboard and in the meeting.

02 / 03

Strategy before technology.

A good engineer builds what you ask. A good architect first asks if it's the right thing to build.

03 / 03

Solutions that actually work.

You get working code and a clear roadmap. No PowerPoint-architecture, no reports that collect dust in a drawer.

The Sweet Spot · 005 signals

You probably recognise yourself in at least one of these.

If two or more land, you're who I work with best. The honest version: if zero land, I'm probably not the right fit yet, and I'll tell you that in the first call.

01 "Pipelines keep breaking at the worst possible time." Reliability
02 "Cloud costs are rising faster than revenue." Cost
03 "Stakeholders don't fully trust the numbers." Trust
04 "Everyone is busy, but nothing gets structurally better." Drift
05 "We've outgrown our first data stack, and it's starting to hurt." Scale
