Joost Cassee

Joost provided clear practical insights and conceptual inspiration for the Bachelors students Information Management of our Open Data Course.

I have such an immense respect for Joost, not just because I think he is an incredibly smart person, but because he is humble about his knowledge and very respectful in his way of sharing it. The thing I find most inspiring about him is the fact that he is able to look beyond what people think they can do and encourage them and guide them into doing it.

Few people know both software development and infrastructures like Joost. He is a systems thinker, innovative, without losing sight of the end goal.

Joost and I work together on an innovative, politically complex program at Rijkswaterstaat, Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment. I know Joost as a calm, attentive and thoughtful personality, being able to listen, understand and work with multidisciplinary teams. Joost is interested in innovations and follows the trends development on the ICT market. His expertise in Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment has been a key success factor to the program. I am really happy to have Joost in my team.

Joost Cassee is an excellent engineer with a wide scope on technical and non-technical matters. If necessary he is able to drill down to the core of technical issues and translate them in terms of risk, time and costs. Moreover a very nice person to work with.

Joost has introduced the word ‘business value’ into our software development process and delivered upon it.
