Summary
Maarten Hoekstra is a hands-on CTO and co-founder with 11+ years building cloud-native, data-intensive systems and now leading CyberDune Agents to commercialize agentic AI for automating complex business processes. He combines deep technical leadership—designing distributed data platforms, stream processing, and production ML—with a pragmatic focus on solution architecture and operational reliability. His background includes leading KPMG’s Big Data Architecture team and executing a national-scale geospatial reconstruction at Kadaster, demonstrating an ability to turn messy legacy data into precise, scalable systems. Maarten bridges research and industry through collaboration with the University of Amsterdam, accelerating academic advances into enterprise deployments. Equally comfortable in Python, Kubernetes, and Hadoop-era ecosystems, he still prefers to build, run, and iterate in production to validate new technologies. Based in Haarlem, he also consults through Dataturgy, bringing startup agility to large-enterprise transformation projects.
