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.

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.
  • Farnam Street - Introduced by Naval and I have been a fan ever since. They write about mental models, decision making, and learning applicable to real life.
  • Mark Manson - He writes about self improvement, philosophy, and life in an honest way.
