What I do

01

Azure integration

API Management, Service Bus and Entra ID wired into governed OData APIs over your existing systems — partner-ready, contracted and secured end to end.

02

AI-augmented delivery

A way-of-working that ships faster without going off the rails: AI pair-building, persistent project memory and self-validating tests, designed and guarded by me.

Claude Copilot Playwright Persistent memory
03

Legacy modernization

Bridging 30-year-old cores — AS/400, Db2 — to the cloud. Dockerized on-prem today, Azure-native at go-live, no big-bang rewrite required.

Full-stack engineering

From data layer to interface: C#/.NET back-ends, TypeScript/React front-ends and the integration glue in between. End to end, by one person who owns it.

Web design & build

Beautiful, fast web applications — portfolio showcases, complex webshop integrations, or a site for someone who simply has a story to tell. Designed and built end to end, mobile-first.

Full-stack toolbox

Integration is what I'm known for — but I'm a full-stack engineer end to end: the data model, the API, and the interface on top. I build the whole thing.

BELGIAN INSURANCE BROKER01

KYC/AML over a 30-year-old core

Bridged a legacy AS/400 policy system to a cloud risk-analysis platform with a governed OData API and an Azure Service Bus trigger flow — automating compliance checks across the full client and policy book.

Integration layer for ERP & partners

Designed and built the Azure integration surface connecting core systems to external partners — API governance, identity and auth done right, on-prem to cloud.

EARLY-STAGE VENTURE03

AI-augmented product build

Took a product from idea to a working web app at speed using an AI-augmented delivery method — grounded in real architecture, with self-validating tests. Shipped.

* Clients anonymized under NDA. Happy to talk specifics in a call.

04 / APPROACH

How I work

The tools are public — anyone can google Claude and Copilot. My edge is the judgment around them: what to share, what to guard, and how to keep a project shipping.

01

AI-augmented, not AI-replaced

I design and guard the way-of-working. The mindset I share openly; the years of trial-and-error behind it travel with me.

02

Memory that compounds

Every decision, ingest and lesson is tracked in a versioned knowledge base, so the project gets smarter over time instead of forgetting.

03

Self-validating delivery

Agents and Playwright check the work against reality before it reaches you — fewer surprises, tighter feedback loops, faster cycles.

04

Grounded in real architecture

Rapid never means reckless. Speed sits on top of solid integration patterns, governance and auth — not instead of them.
