About me

As Lead Developer, I am responsible for a team of highly skilled AI engineers and software engineers. Together, we're building an intelligent, highly configurable, scalable, and secure text-focused AI platform. My strength in this role is understanding customers' problems, translating them into actionable implementation plans in collaboration with the P.O., and continuously optimizing. In addition to addressing code challenges, I am responsible for keeping the development workflow easy to understand, enabling quick iterations, and ensuring that all developers feel they're working in a supportive environment.

As an AI engineer, I was at the forefront of developing features for our AI platform, testing & validating those in production with the customer, and always striving for the most optimal solution in the code. Using already existing AI solutions, finetuning those, but also training models, creating synthetic data, and making sure that the infrastructure runs smoothly in Development, Testing, and Production environments.

During my studies, I started my own freelance company and helped many clients with various issues. The biggest project was as an automation engineer at an accounting firm. I was responsible for automating manual processes in HubSpot using efficient, secure serverless scripts.

Part of the creation of WXNDER, which was a company that sold a combination of picnic boxes with local produce and hiking routes. During COVID, the aim was to provide luxury articles such as wine, crackers, cheese, beer, etc., from local business owners who provided the customer with a restaurant-like high-quality experience, out in nature. The hiking routes were designed to showcase the area's natural beauty and allow customers to explore it. My function was to be technically responsible for the website (custom WordPress template), including database management, Slack integration, and an admin interface to manage assets (inventory), orders, and CRM.

Designed and created a complete internal asset management tool in PHP that solved several nasty, time-wasting problems for all employees. The tool included a straightforward, easy-to-understand UI, secure SQL database connection, and authentication.
