Meet Lennert
Lennert studied Business Engineering at Ghent University with a specialization in Data Analytics. He works end-to-end in Power BI and Microsoft Fabric, from data ingestion and modeling to visualization. He approaches problems with the kind of logical structure you'd expect from someone who once canoed the Swedish-Norwegian border with friends.
We asked Lennert some thoughtful questions
Lennert , how did you discover your passion for data?

This blend of skills has prepared me to apply data-driven solutions to real-world challenges effectively.
