Backend engineer & tech lead based in the Netherlands. I like building things that actually work — clean APIs, solid architecture, systems that scale without drama.
I studied at Delft, spent some time as a TA there, and I've been writing code seriously for years. I'm the kind of person who reads about distributed systems on weekends for fun and ends up with a side project by Monday.
I also wrote a short book called Software Is Not Code — it's about the parts of software nobody talks about in tutorials.
what I mostly work with
Python Django TypeScript JavaScript REST APIs PostgreSQL AWS Docker
things I'm building / exploring
- AIVault — MCP server that lets AI agents use your secrets without ever seeing the actual values. Built this because pasting API keys into chat always felt wrong.
- AgentOS — the operating system for AI agents. 10 infrastructure primitives (audit trails, distributed locks, event buses, secret vaults, and more) behind one gateway. Zero glue code.
- going deeper into AI infrastructure and LLM systems
- various side projects that scratch my own itches
