Top SchoolIvar Vermeulen is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with 11 years of experience turning ambitious media and streaming ideas into production realities. He founded and leads The(Any)Thing, the world’s first on-demand personal cinema, and previously architected Pathé Thuis’s AWS serverless VoD platform supporting international TVOD expansion. His expertise spans serverless cloud architecture, IMF-compliant content pipelines, DRM-secure distribution, and scalable real-time systems—skills honed earlier building Node.js/WebSocket platforms that handled 500k+ concurrent users.
