Solution Architect

Kadaster

I am a software developer and solution architect — with a background in mechanical engineering, which may sound odd but precisely characterises my way of thinking: I think in structures and concepts, and I love work that is sound. Robust. Considered. Beautiful.

I am curious, enjoy intellectual challenge and collaborative work. Friendly, but principled — I believe good technology not only works, but is also sound.

After years as a developer and integration specialist at Kadaster, I moved into architecture and innovation. At the Emerging Technology Center I research upcoming technologies — both for the improvement of Kadaster and for the broader digital government.

My deepest drive: contributing to society by making government better. Data — how it is created, stored, shared and trusted — is central to that.
