Harm Delva

Senior Data Engineer @ Lighthouse

East Flanders, Belgium

I am currently employed as a Data Engineer at Lighthouse in Ghent, Belgium. My responsibilities range from evaluating the feasibility of integrating with external partners to building and maintaining data pipelines, and finally providing our internal stakeholders with documentation covering the quality and processes of each integration. I am looking for opportunities where I can expand my professional horizon. Preferably in Ghent as there is a lot to love about the local tech scene, but most importantly someplace where versatility as a developer is considered a strength.
