Stef Joosten is a digital architect and academic with 18+ years of experience guiding large, high-risk IT transformations in the Dutch public and healthcare sectors, with assignments at NVWA, IND, Rechtspraak and audits for UWV, CJIB and KvK. He blends formal methods, information system design and generative AI to deliver “first-time-right” systems that replace project chaos with predictable, controllable outcomes, and has secured contracts up to €30M. As initiator and product owner of the Ampersand method and compiler, he automates compliant information-system generation (Haskell-based tooling producing MySQL/JS web apps), turning big programs into small, auditable projects. A full professor in information systems design, Stef has published extensively (30+ scientific works, 140+ popular pieces) and maintains a research profile (h-index 14) that feeds practical boardroom advice and compliance-driven architectures. He is known for translating formal research into usable enterprise solutions and for offering a complimentary initial consultation to tidy up messy data landscapes.
