Senior🎓
Top SchoolDieter De Paepe is a software engineer with 13 years of experience building production-grade systems at the intersection of AI, machine learning and big data. He combines academic rigor from a PhD-level background with hands-on product engineering, having moved from semantic web and anomaly-detection research at UGent to applied software roles at Comsof and now NGDATA. His strengths lie in algorithm design, performance-focused architecture and automating complex tasks—skills proven while leading technical advances for FiberPlanIT and optimizing large-scale retrieval and anomaly-detection pipelines. Comfortable in both research and product environments, he bridges theory and practice to turn data-driven ideas into reliable software. Based in Zemst, Belgium, he prefers solutions where machines take on repetitive complexity so humans can focus on higher-value work. An understated detail: his career shows a pattern of turning research prototypes into deployable, high-performance products.
