Lodewijk LoosHead of ICT

Lodewijk is Head of ICT at Waag Futurelab. In this role, he is responsible for the functioning of all digital IT systems at Waag, both internally and externally. As a strong advocate of open, honest and transparent technology, he ensures that Waag is as independent as possible from big tech platforms. Lodewijk is involved in developing Waag's ICT policy, liaising with service providers, but above all in performing tasks in the field of system and application management and desktop support. He enjoys experimenting with new technology and is constantly working to find suitable alternatives to undesirable tech.

In his previous position, Lodewijk was a software developer at Waag. His programming experience gives him a good understanding of how applications work and enables him to easily find creative solutions to make tools work for Waag, rather than the other way around.

Lodewijk studied Music Technology at the HKU, where his initial interest in music ultimately sparked his interest in technology.
