About

I've had a long multifaceted career, with a degree in philosophy and a lifelong interest in technology and coding. My journey has taken me from the early days of hands-on coding to a leadership role where I not only experiment with new ideas but also build and support innovative teams. Today, as a Tech Lead at Rabobank, I'm driven by a clear mission: to build a better bank by fighting complexity and applying GenAI when it makes sense.

To do this I experiment with new ideas around GenAI and design early-stage technical tests to ensure solutions are feasible. I build and support teams, recruit talent, and secure the necessary resources to move our projects forward. By working closely with business lines and other technical stakeholders in the bank, I make sure technical strategies are aligned with product goals, and I guide projects from initial experimentation to a successful MVP.

At the core of my work is a commitment to stimulating an engineering culture that values craftsmanship, technical expertise, and continuous learning. I strive to create environments where teams are empowered to use the right technological solutions, enabling them to excel and help the Rabobank innovate with AI.
