Data Engineer at The Hyve who automated ETL workflows with agentic AI and LLM-based pipelines.

Netherlands

Message

At The Hyve, I designed and implemented data models and ETLs that harmonized data into analysis-ready databases, with accompanying reports, documentation, and SOPs. I deployed ETLs using Python, Spark, AWS, Terraform, Snowflake, Airflow, and SQL.

I also designed agentic AI systems to automate ETL implementation workflows and architected LLM-based automation pipelines integrating structured data, prompt engineering, tool-calling patterns, MCP, and RAG. I led project teams and served as a project manager, tech lead, and client liaison.

At NIZO food research, I developed an R-based tool that enabled biologists to generate complex plots without programming knowledge. I also maintained bioinformatics analysis and data-processing workflows and applied genomic screening pipelines to analyze bacterial strains in silico.
