Max studied Engineering at Hogeschool Inholland and specialised in data engineering on the Microsoft stack. What started as implementation work quickly became trainer work: teaching Dutch data teams Azure Synapse, Microsoft Fabric, Databricks and broader Azure data engineering practice.
Hundreds of engineers have completed Max's Azure trainings through Eduvision and as a guest lecturer at Inholland — sessions where theory was always tied to real case studies, never to academic demos. That experience taught him what many consultancies don't know: which patterns actually work for Dutch organisations, and which patterns only work for enterprise slidedecks.
Why IITS exists
Dutch SMEs and mid-market are stuck. Big consultancies price for €100k+ scope, steering committees and nine months to production. AI agencies build on n8n, Make or scattered SaaS — faster, but your data leaks to third parties and your security team can't audit it. Your own IT doesn't have the capacity for a Fabric or Databricks implementation alongside its existing workload.
IITS sits exactly in this gap: one senior engineer building enterprise-grade Azure, priced and scaled for your reality. No account manager passing work to a junior. No offshore team. No consultancy meter. What you discuss in the scoping call is what gets built in the pilot.
The trainer advantage
Teaching forces clarity. If you can't explain Microsoft Fabric to a room of data engineers without losing them, you don't master the topic. That clarity shows up in how IITS projects run: scope on one page, decisions written down, production budget defined before building starts. No consultancy theatre — just work that can be handed over to your team.
