About

I like hard problems with simple answers. Twenty years in, the best part of the job is still finding the elegant solution hiding inside a messy one.

These days that mostly means agentic AI — building the agents, the harnesses that run them, and the products they make possible. I learn by building, so there's usually a new tool, a new stack, or a half-finished side project on my desk.

Originally from Groningen in the Netherlands, I've called Colorado home since 2001. When I'm not at a keyboard, I'm probably on a bike.
