Bio

I have been an independent BI consultant for many years and implemented numerous data warehouses and BI solutions for large companies. I started an ETL tool called Kettle in 2002-2003. This tool was open sourced in December 2005 and acquired by Pentaho Open Source BI early in 2006. As such I became Chief Architect of Data Integration for Pentaho mainly doing lead development and helping out with architecture of Kettle a.k.a. Pentaho Data Integration until February 2018. Now I'm Chief Solutions Architect at Neo4j where I focus on everything that is required for our customers to implement top level solutions with Neo4j and Kettle.
