About
A software engineer who likes shipping.
I'm based in Amsterdam and have spent the last six years building web applications across enterprise platforms, startups, and my own side projects — from high-traffic booking systems at Booking.com to AI-powered tools and the social discovery platform Weeknights.
I care about code quality, user experience, and the small details that make software feel calm to use. Lately I've been focused on AI products and the design space around them.
