Hire the Best Marketing Automation Consultants
in the Netherlands

While most founders are still hiring VAs and writing LinkedIn posts manually, a quiet shift is happening: High-performing businesses are replacing scattered execution with intelligent infrastructure. AI agents now run lead gen, onboarding, sales follow-up, and content. Not someday. Now. And the gap is growing. Not between talent — but between systems. I build those systems. Using tools like GPT-4, n8n, Make, and Supabase, I design modular automations that run entire client acquisition and delivery workflows — personalized, brand-aligned, and scalable. No chaos. No content treadmill. No dependency on ads or staff. Just clean execution at speed. This isn’t an agency offer. This is embedded expertise. Years of work at the intersection of AI, funnel strategy, and systems design — packed into an architecture that makes your business quieter, faster, smarter. I work privately with 2–3 founders per month. Tech-savvy enough to know what they want. Smart enough to delegate it right. If you’re scaling and still duct-taping processes together — you’re already behind. DM for a private audit. I’ll tell you exactly where you’re bleeding time, leaking revenue, or losing market position. And how to fix it — before your competitors do.

I build AI systems that business owners can actually run without me. Most AI projects fail at the handover, not at the build. The workflow works while the consultant is there and dies the week after. So I work the other way round: first figure out which part of your process should be automated and which part should stay human, then build it, then hand it over with documentation your least technical colleague can follow. What I do: • AI agents and workflows in Claude, Claude Code, Claude Cowork and the OpenAI API, including MCP integrations with the systems you use • Chatbots that answer your customers' questions around the clock, from your own information instead of making things up • Internal assistants and knowledge bases, so your team stops digging through folders for an answer someone already found last month • AI content creation: systems that turn one recording or one idea into posts, emails and scripts in your voice, not in a generic AI voice • Websites and landing pages with the follow-up built in behind them • Dashboards that show an owner what is actually happening in the business • Training and workshops for teams that are curious about AI but have no idea where to start I work in Claude and OpenAI, and I mostly work with coaches, consultants and small practices in Europe. I am not a software developer, and I will say so when your problem needs one. What I am good at is the part in between: understanding the process, picking the simplest thing that does the job, and making sure it still runs after I am gone. Based in Amsterdam, Central European Time. Before going independent I spent three years at The HEINEKEN Company.

🏆 18+ Years in Enterprise Technology | Currently at Amazon Web Services 💼 AWS AI, Amazon Bedrock, RAG & Workflow Automation | Lambda, FastAPI, n8n, APIs ⚡ Paid delivery: Bedrock operations agent for 400K+ monthly transactions, plus production AWS serverless recovery and maintenance. Send me your workflow or architecture. I’ll identify the safest first release, what to automate, what to measure, and where human approval should remain. I currently work at Amazon Web Services and bring 18+ years of enterprise technology experience across AWS and Oracle. MY THREE CORE SERVICES: 1. AWS AI AND SERVERLESS SYSTEMS Amazon Bedrock agents, Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, SQS, DynamoDB, EventBridge, S3, Athena, Glue, CloudWatch, IAM, Terraform, and production troubleshooting. 2. RAG AND AI APPLICATIONS Document ingestion, embeddings, semantic search, cited answers, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, pgvector, Supabase, structured outputs, retrieval evaluation, and React or Next.js integration. 3. WORKFLOW AUTOMATION AND INTEGRATIONS n8n, Make, Zapier, Claude, OpenAI, REST APIs, webhooks, CRM integrations, document processing, lead qualification, and human review. SELECTED PRODUCTION AND CLIENT WORK 1. AWS serverless recovery and ongoing maintenance Recovered a paid client's production subscription lifecycle where Shopify cancellation events were silently dropping and telecom contracts remained active. I traced CloudWatch and DynamoDB records, corrected webhook and provider API payloads, rebuilt Go Lambda functions for ARM64, and added retries, lifecycle scheduling, health checks, and CloudWatch/SNS alerts. The repaired path was verified through a live cancellation simulation. I delivered the architecture, root-cause report, runbook, and rollback instructions, and continue to support the platform. 2. Amazon Bedrock operations agent Built an Amazon Bedrock agent for an insurance lead-routing platform processing more than 400,000 transactions per month. Operations teams can ask plain-English questions over Athena and Glue data in S3, then investigate individual failures through a Python Lambda that parses nested JSON debug logs. Delivery included scoped IAM, Terraform, and GitHub pull-request workflows. Client feedback: "Everything looks GREAT! The AWS components operate exactly as expected and the updates to the Terraform files are perfect I'm super happy with both the quality and turnaround time." 3. RAG and full-stack AI applications Built a FastAPI RAG platform with document ingestion, semantic search, pgvector, and cited answers. I also built a polished healthcare portfolio demonstration using React, API Gateway, Lambda, Bedrock Knowledge Base RAG, and Athena Text-to-SQL over synthetic data. These are separate builds and can be demonstrated in a short walkthrough. 4. AI workflow automation Built n8n workflows for structured lead intake, document processing, CRM updates, scheduling, and human review. One workflow extracts detailed travel enquiries with Claude, converts natural-language follow-up timing into calendar dates, writes structured data to Google Sheets, and routes uncertain results for review instead of guessing. 5. Voice and contact-center AI Built an Amazon Connect and Lex proof of concept for a healthcare contact center handling more than one million interactions annually, including natural-language routing, DynamoDB authentication, context-aware handoff, and Amazon Q agent assistance. HOW I DELIVER I separate model reasoning from deterministic business rules and sensitive actions. AI can classify, retrieve, extract, or draft, while application logic controls validation, permissions, approval gates, and external writes. Every production build is designed around: • Clear acceptance criteria and source-of-truth ownership • Scoped access, secure credential handling, and auditability • Retries, failure paths, alerts, and human review where needed • Tests for normal, duplicate, incomplete, and failed inputs • Documentation, change history, rollback, and maintainable handover • Measurable outcomes such as time saved, error reduction, response time, API cost, conversion, or revenue protected BEST-FIT PROJECTS • Amazon Bedrock agents and AWS generative AI • Production AWS serverless architecture and troubleshooting • RAG, document Q&A, semantic search, and cited answers • AI agents with tool use, session state, and approval gates • n8n automation and API or webhook integrations • Healthcare, insurance, and data-sensitive workflows CORE SKILLS AWS, Amazon Bedrock, Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, SQS, DynamoDB, S3, Athena, Glue, CloudWatch, IAM, Terraform, RAG, FastAPI, Python, PostgreSQL, pgvector, Supabase, React, Next.js, AI Agents, Claude, OpenAI, n8n, Make, Zapier, REST APIs, Webhooks, Workflow Automation, API Integration, Document Processing, Voice AI, Amazon Connect, Amazon Lex, Cognito, Node.js, TypeScript, Generative AI, Serverless, Solution Architecture, Vector Database, AI Automation
