Summary
René Verheij is a Senior Knowledge Graph Engineer and founder with 25+ years of software experience and 11 years of focused professional practice in building semantic, AI-enabled systems. He helps companies unlock siloed data by designing clean, linked-data architectures and integrating Retrieval Augmented Generation so teams get grounded, actionable answers rather than hallucinations. René has shipped production systems from CRMs and CMSs to interactive dashboards and decentralized Web3 platforms, and created LINCD.js—a modern programming framework for the Semantic Web—to simplify building linked-data applications. Based in Aljezur, Portugal, he blends hands-on engineering (Node.js, TypeScript, React, WebSockets) with product-minded delivery, turning complex data into instant insight and automated action. An entrepreneur and long-time open technologist, he favors pragmatic, scalable solutions that drive clarity, efficiency, and measurable growth.
