Summary
Marc Van Dijk is an independent IT architect and principal consultant with over a decade of experience designing scalable, maintainable data-intensive and AI-enabled solutions for commercial, academic, and government clients. He combines a systems-thinking mindset with hands-on delivery—having led architectures for enterprise data estates, IoT interoperability layers across Dutch water boards, and MLOps platforms for asset management. Marc has a rare background bridging computational structural biology research (PhD) and production-grade engineering, having built distributed HPC microservice frameworks and deployed ML-driven toxicology and drug-discovery pipelines. He excels at translating complex domain requirements into pragmatic roadmaps, establishing reference architectures and governance patterns that accelerate SAFe-based delivery. Known for preferring reuse over redesign, he focuses on incremental value, risk-aware delivery, and clear architecture documentation to align business, vendor, and operational needs.
