Always up for a coffee · currently on assignment, but usually available in 2-3 weeks

Welcome at DataSight.

I’m Tom de Bruijn, founder of DataSight (2024). I help organizations turn complex data challenges into clear, actionable insights that deliver measurable value.

As a certified Splunk and Cribl specialist with over 10 years of experience in data engineering, APM, and observability, I work in an open and pragmatic way across roles like engineer, architect, team lead, or product owner.

I combine deep knowledge with hands-on experience to deliver solutions that are immediately effective. I enjoy technical challenges, collaborate easily, and apply the latest technologies to make systems faster, smarter, and more reliable.

Looking for someone who thinks along, builds with you, and delivers? Feel free to get in touch or schedule a meeting.
