About Ruben

Companies today have enough data, but lack the insight to truly steer with it. That's where I help. With DataVance, I ensure that data doesn't get stuck in Excel files or separate systems, but is converted into concrete management information on which you can make decisions immediately.

I primarily work with SMEs and growth companies that feel they can get more out of their data but don't know exactly how. Think of organizations in trade, manufacturing, or logistics where processes become more complex and overview is lacking. My approach is down-to-earth: no thick reports, but solutions that work immediately and deliver value.

What sets me apart is that I don't just build technically, but also think along from the business perspective. I look at how processes actually run, where things go wrong, and where opportunities lie. I then translate that into clear dashboards, data models, and reports that are logical for the people who have to work with them.

Typical assignments include setting up a data platform, building Power BI dashboards, structuring data in, for example, dbt, and replacing error-prone Excel reports. I also help with setting up data models and improving data quality, so you can rely on your figures.

The goal is simple: less manual work, more insight, and better decisions. No over-engineering, but exactly what is needed to move forward.

Choosing DataVance means choosing clarity, speed, and results.

  • Qbuzz b.v.
    Process mining
    February 2023 - July 2023 (5 months)
    Amersfoort, Netherlands
    At Qbuzz, I worked on making operational processes insightful and improving them using process mining.

    In many organizations – and certainly in the transport sector – there is a large gap between how processes are designed on paper and how they actually run in practice. By combining data from different systems, I made the actual process flows visible. Not based on assumptions, but on factual behavior.

    Specifically, this meant:

    • Analyzing end-to-end processes based on event logs
    • Identifying bottlenecks, deviations, and inefficiencies
    • Providing insight into lead times and variations within processes
    • Translating these insights into concrete improvement actions

    What does this yield?
    More control over operations, fewer surprises, and better substantiation for decisions. No more discussions based on gut feeling, but steering based on data.

    Process mining proves time and again to be a powerful way to create value quickly, especially in environments where a lot of data is available but the overview is lacking.

    It was a pleasure to do this at Qbuzz.

    's-Gravenzande, ZH, Netherlands
    At Uptime Data, I ensure that systems and data truly work for the company:

    I design and build central data solutions that bring together information from different source systems.
    I create dashboards and reports that help management and MT quickly gain insight into uptime and performance.
    I arrange connections, data warehouses, and process automation so that everything runs smoothly and reliably.
    I teach client teams how to use the dashboards, so they can get started independently.
