CTO, Enterprise / Domain Architect, Leader and 20+ years in tech. Leader and chose to go back hands-on.
Direct, kind, energetic.
- project 1 —
- project 2 —
- Building tech (TypeScript/Next.js, tRPC, Prisma, AI integration)
- AI-assisted development workflows (Claude Code, MCP servers, prompt engineering)
- Open-source tooling for developer experience
20+ years: Developer → Team Lead → Head → Deputy CTO → back to hands-on by choice.
Why hands-on? After a decade leading teams, I deliberately stepped back to sharpen my technical edge. Leadership is more effective when grounded in current engineering reality.
Leadership experience:
Tech:
- Stack: TypeScript (Next.js 14+, Nest.js, tRPC), Ruby (Rails), Python, SQL/NoSQL
- AI: Claude, GPT, Gemini, AI-assisted workflows, MCP development
- Infra: GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Proxmox, serverless
- Domains: Fullstack (backend preference), product development, technical architecture
Formation: Computer Engineering Languages: Dutch, English, German
