Dirk Van Dooren is a Mission Critical Engineer and DevOps/Data Engineering specialist with 9 years of experience designing serverless, cost-efficient data pipelines and cloud platforms.

His career spans roles at enterprise and public-sector organizations—helping KNMI and financial institutions expose and secure data, and teaching teams AWS best practices.
