About Me
Turning Enterprise Data Chaos Into Competitive Advantage — that’s what I do.
I’m Thomas Nys — a freelance data architect and delivery lead with over a decade of experience helping organizations navigate the messy middle of data and digital transformation.
With a background in software engineering and deep expertise in regulated sectors (GxP, clinical research, public sector), I specialize in building pragmatic, scalable, cloud-native data platforms that align with business outcomes — not just tech specs.
I lead multidisciplinary teams, modernize legacy systems, and shape architectures that scale. My sweet spot lies in combining strategy and delivery: translating long-term vision into short-term momentum, and getting the right things out the door.
What I Bring to the Table
- Scalable data architecture (Azure, Databricks, Kafka, dbt, …)
- Delivery leadership in high-stakes, regulated environments
- Cloud migrations & platform modernization
- Team coaching & capability building
- API-first & event-driven data integration with governance in mind
I believe in clear thinking, lean design, and making sure your data stack serves your business — not the other way around.
