About

“The combination
is unusual.
That's the point.”

I'm a solo builder based in Amsterdam. No CS degree. What I have is the ability to move from a problem to a working product faster than most teams — using AI-assisted development tools, a clear sense of what needs to exist, and the discipline to ship rather than describe.

Before this, six years in premium hospitality across Portugal, Ireland, Germany, and the Netherlands. Most recently at DoubleTree by Hilton Amsterdam, rated Top Talent. That chapter produced four product initiatives approved by senior management, one of which was incorporated into Hilton's regional standards.

The instinct is the same. The tools changed.

Open to freelance projects and collaborations.
Based in Amsterdam. Available remotely across Europe.

AI Agent · Personal Assistant

Jarvis

A personal AI agent that thinks before it speaks — and routes every request to the right model automatically.

Voice input. Multi-model routing. Iron Man HUD. Every request is classified and sent to the right model: Claude Sonnet for reasoning, GPT-4o-mini for classification, Tavily for real-time search, Manus for autonomous execution. 20+ development sessions. Still being built.

AI Tool · Sports Analytics

BETAI

AI football analysis that tells you when not to bet as clearly as when to.

Real-time data pipeline: The Odds API + API-Football feeds a Poisson probability engine, then Claude for narrative analysis with a confidence score. When there's no value, it says so. Honest tools build trust.

SaaS · Content Tool

Trading Content Studio

An AI studio built for one thing: turning trading and finance stories into production-ready content.

Three modules in sequence: Narrative generates scripts and cinematic video prompts. Image builds a persistent visual library. Video turns prompts into footage with native audio, multiple aspect ratios, scene by scene.
