About
I'm a senior software engineer in Amsterdam, building software with AI agents and writing about what I learn.
I have spent most of my career across FinTech and e-commerce. These days most of my energy goes into how AI changes engineering work: what agents are good at, where they fall over in production, and what that means for how teams ship.
If your team is shipping AI-written code and figuring out what that does to reviews and testing, I would especially like to hear from you.
Projects
- Smoketest - AI-assisted E2E testing. The tests your agents don't write.

What I read
- Naval - He talks about startups, investing, and life in a philosophical way.
- Collaborative Fund - Reading Pure Independence by Morgan Housel hooked me immediately. They write about economics, markets, and investing with great storytelling.
