Top SchoolHans Van Akelyen is a seasoned BI and data integration specialist with 11 years of experience, focused on Pentaho-based ETL, data warehousing and dashboarding for enterprise customers. As a long-time Pentaho consultant and owner of HvA BV, he combines hands-on implementation at know.bi with open-source stewardship as a PMC member and back-end developer for the Apache Hop orchestration platform.

He often pairs deep SQL/DB knowledge (MySQL, Firebird) with pragmatic dashboarding to turn complex ETL projects into actionable business intelligence.
