Data Engineering Consultant · Gent, Belgium

Your team spent 3 days building a report. Finance says the numbers are wrong.

I break that cycle.

One consultant. One source of truth. No handoffs, no junior staff, no finger-pointing. Just a BI system that actually works.

Philosophy trained me to ask better questions.

I studied philosophy before I wound up in data. That background isn't trivial — it's how I spot the assumptions everyone else takes for granted and how I connect your data challenges to what actually matters for your business.

Based in Gent. Working across Belgium and Europe. Independent consultant since 2018.

Real results from real partnerships.

Based on clear data, we hired seven new people. 'It's busy' suddenly became tangible. Wouter also helped us maintain the system ourselves — that saves us thousands of euros.

Reports used to take forever to load and you were never sure the system wouldn't crash. An endlessly frustrating ordeal we're now rid of.

Wouter guided our data project from start to finish in a highly professional manner. No surprises, no delays, just quality.

Common questions.

What makes your advice truly independent?
As a solo consultant, I am genuinely independent. I don’t have ties with software vendors pushing their solutions. I don’t have juniors on the bench that I need to staff. Xudo is cashflow positive, so I don’t have to make concessions when it comes to the projects I take on—or refuse. This means I’ll tell you what you need to hear, even if you don’t want to hear it.
Why should I choose you instead of a Big 4 consultancy?
Big 4 firms offer economies of scale and large teams, but you often pay for overhead, juniors in training, and rigid methodologies that don’t always fit your situation. With me you get: senior expertise from day one (15+ years experience), no agency markup - you pay for my time not office costs and sales teams, complete flexibility - I adapt my approach to your situation, direct communication - no layers between you and the person doing the work, and true independence - no vendor partnerships influencing my advice. Choose a Big 4 if you need political coverage or a huge team. Choose me if you want results.
What size companies do you typically work with?
I work with services businesses with 50+ employees who realize they have to start using data to get their operations under control. They need complete BI implementation—from strategy to fully automated KPI dashboards—and value independence and a pragmatic, results-oriented approach.
