Hi, I’m André Kamman — a freelance Data Engineer & Platform Architect with over 30 years of experience building, optimizing, and scaling data platforms for enterprises, governments, and fast-growing startups.

I’ve worked with dozens of teams across Europe, delivered training sessions on modern data stack tools, and love discussing architecture, best practices, and the latest in cloud data tech.
