Eli Lauwers

Eli holds an advanced master-of-science degree in Statistical Data Analysis (Majoring in Computational Statistics) and a master's degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, both obtained at Ghent University. Through his role as an analytics architect at element61, he simultaneously leverages a passion for technology alongside a passion for business and working with multidisciplinary parties. 

Since joining element61, Eli has played a key role in the Power BI "Out-of-the-Box" team, combining data engineering with abstract software development to provide valuable insights to clients. 
He loves finding clever solutions to improve data product performance and was already involved in maximizing the development throughput of the "Out-of-the-Box" solutions and other acceleration kits. 

Eli is a big fan of creating business value through collaboration and always strives to involve business stakeholders in the technical work. In his own words: ‘The coolest projects are those where stakeholders are actively involved in the design process, as those projects tend to deliver optimal results’. 

Eli has experience with tools and frameworks like Python, SQL, Databricks, Azure, R, Power Automate, Power BI, among others. 

After hours, Eli mainly enjoys experiencing the arts and culture. He is an avid music lover (the heavier stuff) and an art enthusiast. At any point in time, he can be persuaded to discuss Belgian art museums, music venues, cinema, or good food.
