Nicael Jooste · Water & software
Water knowledge.
Working software.
I build software and data tools for water infrastructure teams. My work connects the people who understand water operations with the systems they use to make decisions.
Civil engineering background. Software in practice.
Based in the Netherlands.

Data science for drinking water
Selected work
Built around real
operational questions.
Internal software, digital-twin concepts, and practical AI adoption in drinking water.
All workDigital water
Making water operations easier to reason about
Digital-twin concepts that connect operational data with scenarios, replay, and validation.
Internal software
A shared starting point for data work
Internal Python SDKs that give a growing data team reusable access methods and domain logic.
Applied AI
Helping a utility put AI into practice
Experiments, practical guidance, and rollout support with human review and confidentiality in mind.
How I work
Start with the decision.
Then work back to the data.
A useful tool begins with understanding what someone needs to decide. I work with domain experts to turn their knowledge into software, making assumptions and data quality easy to check.
I also care about the next person who has to change it. Shared Python tooling, documentation, code review, and coaching help a team build on each other's work.
