Senior DevOps Engineer

October 2021 - October 2022

Teamlead, Senior Java Engineer

For Kadaster I was teamlead of a devops team that was in charge of migrating the existing landscape to support loading and reading data from their newly developed datastore solution (Datahub). The team was part of the DSO project and after the migration we built and maintained functionality that was required for the project.

June 2020 - October 2021

Teamlead, Senior DevOps Engineer

For the Gidso project I was teamlead in a small devops team, implementing new functionality to connect new customers to the Gidso platform, a large Saas platform for the social domain. An important part of the assignment was implementing new functionality for the city of Amsterdam. Besides the regular development work, I had to coordinate the new functionality with all stakeholders.

January 2019 - June 2020

Senior Java Engineer

At the Kadaster Data Platform (KDP) project I was part of a DevOps team that built and maintained a stack to make large datasets accessible throughout and outside of the organization. My work consisted partly of contributing to DotWebStack, an open souce framework that enables API creation by configuration. And it consisted of maintaining the orchestration layer for extracting, transforming and loading the Linked Data from (mostly html and xml) ‘bestemmingsplannen’ for the IHR (InformatieHuis Ruimte) project, part of the DSO (digitaal stelsel omgevingswet)

The Equestic Saddle clip is an electronic sensor that you can easily attach to the saddle of your horse. It measures the training and analyses the results. You can use these results to customise your training routine. The ambition is to help one million horses and riders worldwide to grow up to Happy Athletes. For this very innovative sensor Luminis developed a slick mobile application that could connect with the Equestic Saddle clip, read out the measurements and show the analysed results. For the more sophisticated analyses the measurement was sent to a backend, that we also developed.

The Equestic development team is very small, so as a developer I was involved in all parts of the development process for both the mobile application as well as the backend application. From writing technical designs, to developing new functionality and maintaining existing functionality. One of the important topics that we touched during my time at the project was setting up App store and Play store subscriptions. During a large part of my time on the Equestic project I was the scrum master and I was greatly involved at improving the continuous integration process.

April 2016 - October 2017

Fullstack Engineer

For the Van Dijk project I was part of a small team that maintained the webshop, a grails application that communicates with a number of other applications within the Van Dijk landscape. In order to make sure that none of the messages between these systems (orders and order information mainly) got lost, there was an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). During a large part of my time on the Van Dijk project I was responsible for the ESB. Exceptional about the webshop is the fact that in a short period of time a very large number of orders need to be processed (almost all of the sales are made in a span of three weeks). So key for this application is performance, besides my regular tasks I was responsible for maintaining this high performance by writing and running the performance tests.

Beam

Framework that can be used to create a pluggable API from configuration on top of a datasource. The framework is modular, so the set of supported api’s and datasources can be extended without it having any effect on the other modules. It enables organisations to create high quality API’s without the necessity to write a single line of code. While there are similarities in the ideas behind both Beam and DotWebStack, Beam is developed for a much broader audience and more focussed on small businesses. It contains support for OpenApi and GraphQL api’s and Mongo and Sql datasources and adds a configurable security layer based on the OpenId Connect protocol.

2019 - 2021

DotWebStack

DotWebStack is an open source project to create pluggable API’s on top of datasources. Developed as an open source component at Kadaster, used to create rest api’s on top of Linked Data datasources. See the project here.

Jouri always finds it exciting to contribute in one way or another to the software community. Whether it is by organising or giving a talk, writing an article or contributing to an open source project. Going the extra mile for the community is both giving him energy and making him focus even more on thinking about how to word, write and code things in an easily accessible way. The following is a sample of the things Jouri has done for the community over the last couple of years:
