Data, agricultural NGO
Agricultural field-data system
The collection system field teams use to record what happens at every district, pod and site, 9 districts and 46 pods in all, so records come back clean instead of needing a week of tidying.
Data & automation engineer
I build the pipelines, workflows, and collection tools that turn messy operational data into decisions people can act on. Most of it runs quietly in production, from agency client systems to programmes serving smallholder farmers.
Things I've built that people and businesses now depend on, doing real work that nobody has to think about.

Data, agricultural NGO
Pipelines and dashboards behind field officers and farmer prospecting: how each district and shop is really selling, and early warning when a dealer starts slipping away.
Data, agricultural NGO
Automatic alerts and reporting emails that keep decision-makers current on operations, so nobody spends their morning pulling numbers by hand.
Automation, agricultural NGO
Reads the HR paperwork, works out whose contract is about to lapse, and tells their manager before it does. Days of chasing paper between desks, now minutes, and nobody finds out too late.
Automation, property management client
Repair jobs arrive by email, emergency form and partner company. This reads them all, books the right engineer on the right day, and turns the day into a sensible driving route. Emergencies jump the queue, the rest re-plans itself. Eight minutes a booking down to thirty seconds, across 503 slots with no clashes.
Automation, vending operator
Vending machines in amusement parks across two countries. When one eats a family's money, they message the number on the front. This reads the message and the photo, works out what failed, answers in their language, and issues a refund code if one is owed. 800+ cases, usually inside a minute, seven languages.
Automation, e-learning software client
One brief in; a finished, illustrated article out in English and Dutch. It researches against live search and the client's own product docs, so the copy matches what the software actually does. It files to the CMS as a draft, and a person still presses publish. 44 articles so far.
Automation, healthcare procurement client
Its audience is medical specialists, where generic posting does real damage. So it watches 22 healthcare sources and puts every story through five rounds of filtering before a word gets written. What survives becomes a Dutch LinkedIn post with a branded image, waiting in the comms inbox for a yes. Nothing publishes itself.
Automation
Hiring that goes further than screening CVs. It reads every application, then phones candidates and runs the first two rounds itself, holding a real conversation. Everyone is compared on the same basis, and only the shortlist worth a human's time comes through. The only interview a person runs is the last one.

Works out who actually makes the decision at a target company, finds a verified way to reach them, writes an opener specific to them rather than a mail-merge, and keeps the follow-up organised.

Turns the notes from a sales call into a finished, properly written client proposal, sends it internally for a yes, then delivers it while the conversation is still fresh instead of three days later.

Spots invoices as they arrive in the inbox, reads the amounts, dates and supplier off them, and puts everything into one place, so nobody is retyping numbers off a PDF.

Chris has an impressive sense of ownership. He takes a problem off your desk and you stop thinking about it.
Workorder planning automation has saved us hours of manually planning over a thousand work orders.
I used to spend hours writing blog posts, but now I just fill out a simple form with my ideas, and it becomes a beautifully written blog post that goes straight to my site in two different languages in less than five minutes. Thank you!
Data and automation roles across an agricultural NGO, a remote automation agency, and applied engineering research.
Agricultural NGO
Reporting, insight and automated data flows behind the engagement of 70,000+ farmers across 4 states.
Agricultural NGO
Pipelines, dashboards and ODK survey tools that standardised field data collection, plus the sales analysis the retail operation ran on.
Automation agency, Netherlands (remote)
Architected and shipped production automation for multiple clients across n8n, Python and Supabase, integrating third-party APIs, databases and LLM services into systems that held up in real use.
Artificial Intelligence for Clean Energy
Regression and classification models for prediction analysis, across the full ML workflow from preprocessing to evaluation.
Helios Post Harvest Ltd
Built an IoT-enabled smart irrigation control system with remote data monitoring.
The tools most of this is built on.
I'm a mechatronics engineer turned data and automation engineer. I build the unglamorous machinery that lets an organisation act on its own data: pipelines, workflows, dashboards, and the collection tools that hold everything together.
Most of my work sits where software meets the real world. I've built automation that businesses run on daily, and I've spent long days at distribution sites making sure the records that leave a laptop reach the farmer at the front of the queue. The rule is the same in both places: build it so it holds when someone depends on it.
Whether it's an automation that removes a daily bottleneck or a data system that makes the field legible, send a note and I'll reply.
