Hi, my name is Steven Reitsma. Years ago I started out as a data scientist but soon found out that my real passion is in data engineering and platform infrastructure. Now, I have my own freelancing company and lead a team at the National Cyber Security Center. Here, I build a data platform that is used by cybersecurity experts to create products that protect critical organisations in the Netherlands.
I’m a firm believer of open source technology and have committed to many open source projects, such as ClickHouse, MinIO, Airflow, Kubernetes and more.
In my free time I like to travel and shoot video along the way. I’ve also directed my own game-show, which I edited into a feature film. I also like to work on my homelab, brew my own beer and regularly go to music festivals.
