Ontology EngineeringKnowledge GraphsSemantic Interoperability
I am one of the two TDCC-NES Ontology Engineers, affiliated with TU Delft, supporting researchers and organizations with ontology design, review, and implementation. I also co-develop askwol, an open-source tool for reviewing OWL ontologies. Linked Data has been central to my work since I began using RDF in 2006.
My background spans a PhD in Artificial Intelligence at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, postdoctoral research, and enterprise knowledge graph engineering at Triply and eccenca. My work combines semantic architecture and workflows with experience leading technical teams and projects.
