Summary
Niels Nuyttens is a software engineer and technical architect with roughly a decade of hands-on experience designing and operating data platforms and cloud-native systems. He has deep expertise in event-driven architectures, integration patterns, and deploying Hadoop/Kafka ecosystems on managed Kubernetes across multiple cloud providers. As Lead Engineer and sole engineer roles at NannyML, he’s shifted into ML-quality tooling, building an open-source library to estimate model performance without access to targets. Earlier roles span data, DevOps and consulting work for banks, government, and enterprise customers, giving him a pragmatic focus on reliability and operational maturity. Based in Aarschot, Belgium, he pairs solid academic roots in computer science with a pragmatic craftsman mindset — and an unexpectedly prolific taste for dad jokes. His profile signals someone who bridges architecture and implementation, comfortable moving between high-level design and day-to-day engineering.
