Top SchoolFako Berkers is an open source developer based in Amsterdam with 12 years of experience building data pipelines, search integrations and product-facing APIs. He currently maintains a framework that mashes up APIs, AI models and office backends at Data Scope, and previously consolidated diverse data sources for universal search at SURF. His background spans frontend and mobile app work through to CTO responsibilities, giving him a rare blend of product-minded engineering and hands-on data plumbing.
