He thinks in systems, not scripts.

Forecasting demand across more than 15,000 locations, in 40+ countries and 20+ languages, for Fortune 500 operators. The work only counts if it holds at that scale, in production, after the demo is over.

Builds AI that ships, and stays honest.

Retrieval pipelines, cross-encoder rerankers, autonomous agents, and the evals that keep them trustworthy. Guardrails and measurement are not an afterthought, they are the product.

Explains the field to himself, in public.

A daily "Today in AI" field note: one story, gone deep, from a production-builder's seat. What shipped, what it means, what to ignore. The discipline of writing it down is how the intuition compounds.

Points the work at what matters.

An aerospace M.Sc. from TU Delft, then technical product ownership and PMP-certified delivery. The judgment to pick the right problem and carry it from prototype to something a business can defend.

About

Retrieval, ranking, agents, evals, and the discipline of keeping them healthy after the demo is over.

I build production AI systems end to end. Most of my recent work is Fortune 500 deployments where the signal lives in messy enterprise data and the buyer is a non-technical executive who needs a number they can defend.

My path to AI started in aerospace engineering at TU Delft, with a thesis on neural networks for turbulent airflow simulation. That mathematical rigor became my edge. Today I work across RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, evaluation harnesses, and the production observability that turns a clever notebook into a system you can trust.
