Summary
Marcel Maatkamp is a Senior Software Specialist with 15 years of experience building real-time big data analytics and production systems for the Dutch National Police. He architects and implements both front- and backend components using Docker-driven deployments, Java/Spring Boot, Node.js frontends, RabbitMQ, and a mix of MongoDB/Oracle and distributed caches to support high-throughput event processing. Marcel combines practical DevOps skills (Mesos, Logstash/Kibana, syslog-ng) with applied data tooling such as Esper CEP, Apache Nutch, Tika and Stanford NER to turn heterogeneous inputs into actionable insights. He is committed to open source—publishing personal projects and Docker images—and often stitches together heterogeneous technologies to solve real-world problems. With a Master’s in Forensic Computing and Cybercrime Investigation, he brings a security-aware mindset to analytics platform design that isn’t obvious from a typical backend developer profile.
