Erik van Wijk

Co-founder & CTO

Erik believes utility companies will only be able to compete if they gain detailed and relevant insight in energy consumption. He’s a big daddy to big data, continuously on the lookout for ways to improve. Do you share his vision? Welcome on board. But better hold on to your hats. He’s going full throttle.

Bio

Erik adds over 18 years of software product development experience in different roles to Energyworx. Besides that, he has gained a lot of knowledge specifically in the utility market. He worked as a software specialist for companies like Compuware Europe and Vattenfall trading before he co-founded Energyworx. At Vattenfall he worked on an energy trading platform and a Market Data Management solution. At Compuware Europe, he was part of the software development team designing and building products like Uniface and a complex application generation platform OptimalJ which was based on MDA (Model Driven Architecture).

Erik believes it is very important to make the utility sector aware of the upcoming data explosion and the new challenges ahead. These challenges require new affordable sophisticated solutions.

With extreme enthusiasm, Erik uses his skills, knowledge, and the latest technologies to make the impossible possible when it comes to big data in the utility sector. On the private level when he’s not glued to his laptop he likes to spend time with his family or do sports.

Our DNA

Everything we do is designed to accelerate the world’s transition to clean energy. We do this through technology innovation.

We live in a changing Energy World, moving away from fossil fuels transitioning in a complex new Energy Mix from demand to supply and a change from centralized to distributed generation. People and communities care about energy efficiency and want to be engaged in reducing their environmental impact. This requires a rethink of the structure and suppleness of the Smart Grid and its systems. Data is fuelling the Industry and Energyworx is putting these disparate data streams and stores to use with high tech energy intelligence, based on time series analytics and machine learning concepts, to solve today’s information challenges. We deliver value in days, rather than months or years. We therefore only work with the most talented people who share our DNA. Do you have what it takes?
