After having made all the mistakes you can make, building 4 knowledge graphs based on semantic technology since 2011 (and several before that based on ODBMS) I finally thought I'm ready to set up a company again together with a group of some amazing partners.We believe that there's only one way to really solve the currently "insoluble" use cases, the "holy grail " strategic enterprise wide use cases such as Client 360, Risk Management, Fraud detection, AML, Regulatory Reporting, Cyber Security and many others. Each of these use cases requires a "holistic view" of the world, if you really want to do it right and "end to end", dealing with all relevant data sources and all their inconsistencies, they require an Enterprise Knowledge Graph (EKG), a data fabric based on solid machine-readable understanding / semantics.agnos.ai provides services and products that help organisations on their journey towards becoming a data-centric enterprise i.e. a Knowledge Graph Enterprise. All data in your world (internal and external, structured or unstructured) all connected, distributed, unified, supporting all versions of the truth, flexible, not replacing anything (necessarily), standards based (no vendor lock-in), future proof, infinitely scalable. Enabling the implementation of a whole new league of use cases.

Advising BT on their Digital Twin for GenAI (GenTwin), an Enterprise Knowledge Graph (EKG) architecture based on the EKGF principles. Advising on their enterprise semantic modeling strategy. Lead architect and developer of their EKG infrastructure (AWS & AWS Neptune based), including EKG Service Layer and UI.

Head of the "Knowledge Graph" team and the architect of the first Enterprise Knowledge Graph platform in the industry. The platform is a Micro-services based, "Reactive" and "Elastically Scalable" architecture that is fully "model driven". All code is generic and executes models that are part of the Knowledge Graph. The Knowledge Graph is a Semantic Web / Linked Data compliant virtual concept that is powered by this new architecture. The platform provides the scale and robustness that is needed for financial services systems, providing low-latency "real-time" access to the Knowledge Graph.Also Lead Ontologist for the Knowledge Graph, which is based on FIBO and several other open standard ontologies.Moved to London mid 2016.

Doing R&D on the Bloomberg Knowledge Graph and setting up an Ontology Architecture.Architect of a scalable model driven, event driven/async/stateless, knowledge graph publishing system.

Setting up the new core Architecture, leading the "Athena Project", which is fully based on Semantic Technologies (RDF/SPARQL/OWL), from the design of the high level ontology architecture all the way down to selecting and setting up triple stores and creating a cloud based linearly & elastically scalable, low latency, async/non-blocking architecture. Introducing new paradigms and new technologies into the company and making them change their game.

Setting up firm-wide Linked Data Services, cloud-based D2RQ- and triplestore-based SPARQL and Linked Data services, mapping legacy reference data to RDF triples based on public domain and internally developed OWL ontologies & vocabularies.

Founded and managed a startup that hosted its own highly innovative "Human Capital Management" product as a SaaS service. The 5-million euro product had been developed since '97 in the IT consulting company DOOSYS, as a spin off of one of their projects. Found venture capital since 2001 and deployed this service in large organizations serving thousands of employees for 7 years. The product was 100% object oriented, fully web based, using C++ and a high performance Object Oriented database (Versant).
