Summary
Wilco Tomassen is a data engineer with 10 years of experience crafting data-rich experiences at the intersection of software, visualization and UX. He led data and software engineering at CLEVER°FRANKE for over a decade, embedding complex data into storytelling, native apps, game engines and physical installations for clients like Google, UNICEF and Elsevier before joining KNMI. Comfortable from API and platform design to hardware-aware interfaces, he favors pragmatic, maintainable solutions and is equally likely to reach for custom code or an off‑the‑shelf tool — or to solve a problem by changing the user or domain approach. Trained in media technology and AI, he brings a higher-perspective problem‑solving style that blends technical depth with design sensitivity and hands-on product leadership.
