I'm a geodata expert residing in Berlin and over the last years I worked mainly on BIM and GIS. In my current occupation as geospatial data scientist at the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, I look into exposure modeling for natural hazards. Exposure models typically only get distributed about once a decade, contain data about aggregated districts and are covering mere regions or at best countries. In our research we are particularly interested into getting a building-by-building, up-to-date and global model. All projects are based on open data and are fully open-source.

I am a Dutch GIS specialist in the field of water management, urban drainage and hydrodynamic modelling. I am fascinated by the challenge of translating complex topics and datasets to understandable information for clients. And in developing tooling that enabled other to do this. I graduated from Wageningen University in 2010 (Msc. International Land and Water Management) and have worked in GIS and water management in academia, government and consulting. In the past six years I worked at Nelen & Schuurmans, as water management consultant and product owner for the 3Di Modeller Interface.
