One engineer. Whole product. From the AI strategy call to the running system in production. I'm a senior full-stack engineer with a decade of shipping behind me — and over the last few years, AI integration has become the part of the work I'm most useful at. Not as a prompt engineer or a deck-and-disappear consultant, but as the person who sits in a discovery call, understands your product and workflows, identifies where a model, an embedding store or an agent actually moves the needle, and then builds it. Same pair of hands, all the way through. That's the part most teams are missing right now. AI consultants who can't ship. Engineers who can ship but can't tell you whether the LLM is the right answer in the first place. I do both, and the value is in not splitting them apart. How engagements usually start Most projects start with a call. You tell me what you're trying to build or where you're stuck, I ask questions, and we figure out together whether AI is actually the right answer — and if so, what the smallest useful first step looks like. Sometimes that's a one-page plan and an estimate. Sometimes it's a longer paid discovery if the product is complex enough to warrant it. Either way, I'll tell you honestly when an LLM is the wrong answer — that's part of the value of talking to someone who builds these systems, not just advises on them. What I build – AI & LLM integration · OpenAI, Vertex AI, Bedrock, LangChain. RAG systems, chatbots, agentic workflows, prompt and eval pipelines, embeddings, vector stores. Production-grade — not demos. – Frontend · React, Next.js, Angular, TypeScript. Component-driven UIs, accessibility, performance — built to stay fast at year three. – Backend · NestJS, Express, Python (FastAPI / Django). REST and GraphQL APIs, event-driven systems, queues, background workers. – Data · PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, vector databases. Schema design, indexing, query plans — the unglamorous parts that decide whether the app holds up under real load. – Cloud & DevOps · Azure, AWS, GCP. Kubernetes, serverless, Terraform / Bicep, CI/CD on Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions. Zero-downtime deploys. – Integrations · Stripe, Firebase Auth, Azure AD B2C, messaging, analytics — wired in cleanly, failure paths covered. How I work Direct, written-first, async-friendly across timezones. Long-running, end-to-end engagements are where I do my best work — I plug in, learn the product, and keep it moving. I take on unfamiliar stacks and domains on purpose. That's usually the part I want. If you've got something ambitious — an AI feature you're not sure how to scope, a product that needs to ship with AI baked in from day one, or a vague idea you need someone to think through honestly before writing any code — let's talk.

I build and scale web and mobile apps. Founders and product teams bring me in to take a SaaS product or app from a blank repo to something real customers pay for, and to keep it scaling once it works. I have done the whole cycle: the first working prototype, the MVP that gets the first paying users, and the architecture that holds up when usage 10x's and the original "ship it fast" code starts to crack. Most developers do one end of that well. I do the full range because I have shipped apps at every stage of it. What I build: Web SaaS platforms: multi-tenant workspaces, billing, permissions, dashboards, admin tooling. Native mobile apps for iOS and Android. AI-native apps: agent platforms, MCP servers, document-intelligence pipelines, function-calling. The integrations and the servers underneath all of it. I ship the first working version into your repo within 48 hours of kickoff, demo progress on a fixed weekly slot, and bill fixed-price milestones so you always know what the next payment buys. Let’s bring your project to life! Message me to get started.

I help organizations turn complex ideas into reliable, scalable systems, from hardware and network layers to cloud-based platforms. With 15+ years in engineering, starting from a background in computer science, embedded systems and electronics, I bring an end-to-end perspective that goes beyond typical full-stack development. I work closely with teams to design systems, make technical decisions, and take ownership of delivery, ensuring solutions perform reliably in real-world production environments. I have worked on systems operating at real scale. Platforms processing 100,000+ transactions per month. National healthcare systems handling 10,000+ records daily across 350+ hospitals. My focus is simple: deliver systems that work in production, reliably, efficiently, and at scale. I typically get involved when: • A system needs to scale or be re-architected • Performance or reliability becomes a bottleneck • There is a gap between idea and execution • Teams need clarity in technical direction and ownership I work across the full lifecycle: • System design and architecture • Technical decision-making and delivery ownership • Backend and frontend development • Cloud-native infrastructure and deployment • Performance, scalability, and reliability What makes my approach different is the combination of hands-on development and system-level thinking. I stay close to the code where it matters, while also guiding architecture, simplifying complexity, and helping teams move forward with clear technical direction. Beyond implementation, I help teams improve delivery, reduce complexity, and build sustainable engineering practices through better architecture, testing, and technical leadership. I work remote-first through my consulting company, collaborating with teams across Europe and the US. Originally from the Netherlands and currently based in Brazil, I align well with European time zones and distributed teams. If you are building or scaling a system and need someone who can take ownership from concept to delivery, as a partner or contractor, feel free to reach out. I engage in direct and transparent collaborations only.
