Tilburg, North Brabant, Netherlands
Currently at CM.com, I’m building HALO, an AI platform that automates work and powers conversational agents used by enterprise customers across Europe. Previously, at Cyscale, I worked on a cloud security platform that helped teams improve security posture, privacy, and GDPR compliance through clear dashboards and smart alert prioritization. The last 8 years of professional experience shaped how I see technology today. I stand for privacy, responsible AI use, and practical systems that solve real problems. Today, I help people go from AI-curious to AI-able through hands-on learning, building, breaking, and shipping real applications together. Everything I share is tested in real projects: hours spent debugging, understanding the underlying tech, building custom solutions, and translating messy business processes into intuitive AI systems. Follow along for practical templates, best practices, tools, and techniques to: → get from problem to prod ready AI system → build AI-first apps and websites → build useful personal automations → work effectively with modern AI tools
At Cyscale, I helped develop a platform that lets security teams monitor and manage risks in AWS, GCP, and Azure. As part of the engineering team, I worked across the stack to make cloud safe, using graph-based technologies, user-friendly dashboards and AI integration. 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: - AI alerts prioritization: Built features using AI to rank alerts, reduce noise, and help teams focus on important issues. - Real-time notification system: Designed and implemented alerts for high-priority threats, integrating with Slack, Gmail, and Teams. - Dashboard & data integration: Improved the UI and connected backend systems for clearer insights and efficient handling of large-scale cloud data. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵: Gained hands-on experience with GraphQL, Neo4j, Microservices, and Kubernetes; earned Azure certification; and got exposed cybersecurity standards like ISO, NIST, and GDPR. Built authentication flows, integrated communication tools, and deepened my understanding of attack paths and cloud security setup. 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: Represented Cyscale at the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO) event in The Hague, advancing to the final round among Europe’s top cybersecurity startups. Improved public speaking and pitch deck skills, and connected with industry leaders and investors. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: This was one of the most significant professional experiences I’ve had, I had so much fun. It shaped who I am today: someone who invests in delivering value, with a strong focus on cybersecurity, a passion for technology, and a drive to build products that work. Cyscale gave me the best playground to grow as an engineer and see firsthand the pace and demands of working in a startup.
