Engineering data platforms
with intention.

I started Sourcefield because I believe data infrastructure should be boring in the best way — reliable, well-documented, and straightforward to maintain. No over-engineering, no vendor lock-in for the sake of it.

With a background spanning financial services, retail, automotive, education, and energy, I've seen what works at scale and what turns into technical debt. From Basel IV regulatory datasets at Rabobank to supply-chain analytics at Jumbo — I bring that perspective to every engagement.

I work best when I'm embedded with your team — joining standups, reviewing PRs, and treating your data like my own. Whether it's a 3-month migration or ongoing platform support, I aim to leave your team in a better position than I found them.

Sourcefield Data Engineering B.V. is registered in the Netherlands and operates across Europe, with remote-first flexibility for international teams.
