Cedric Raeymaeckers

I am Cedric Raeymaeckers. I have 10 years of experience as a Consultant, with 7 of those years at Datashift, a Belgian consultancy firm focused on delivering value to our clients through close collaboration with the business. I was the fourth employee, and now we have 105 consultants, so it has been quite a ride. It's a cliché word, but I would describe myself best as a hybrid profile triggered by impact. I started my career in traditional DWH'ing and gradually shifted my focus to the productization of data pipelines within modern data platforms over the years. Today, I wear various hats on my projects, from Developer to Lead. In my spare time, you'll mostly find me with my classic car or in nature, together with my girlfriend and dog.
