Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNico Verwer is an independent consulting software architect and data scientist with a PhD in theoretical computer science and over a decade of hands-on experience building resilient systems for publishing, media and government clients. He blends deep expertise in predictive analytics and machine learning with a rare command of XML, Semantic Web standards and text-mining—having implemented complex PEG-based parsers and production-grade reference detection for legal and regulatory texts. Comfortable from backend Java/Kotlin/C# services to browser-side visualizations and client apps, he repeatedly modernizes legacy platforms (e.g., Link eXtractor) into maintainable, high-performance systems. A pragmatic agile advocate and Scrum practitioner, he also contributes to community knowledge as co-organizer of Declarative Amsterdam. Based in Gelderland, Netherlands, he often pairs academic rigor with practical engineering, for example turning sensor data into analytics-driven trainer apps and self-driving ERP prototypes.
